My job? RSS. My side projects? Also RSS.
I built Wild RSS a few months ago to help spot issues in podcast RSS feeds. It's far from complete, but it validates against namespace specs, flags best practice issues, and catches things I've seen break in the wild. Deciding what's a warning vs an error is tricky though - what fails in one app might work just fine in another.

@js@podcastindex.social @nathan@xoxo.zone when under ``, is `` exclusively for linking to non-RSS apps or could it also be used to link to dedicated pages on RSS apps, e.g. https://fountain.fm/episode/voGssbBOWR6NTUzM5wXG and https://podverse.fm/episode/2r-wkDDU9?
@dave@podcastindex.social interesting concept
@dave@podcastindex.social Apple Podcasts RSS errors are always cryptic. And I'm not sure what "Artist" refers to in this case?
Is there an RSS feed I can look at?
