May and June brought more transparency into how your episodes are processed and served, plus a major upgrade to podcast site themes.
Features
- MP3 processing errors in your dashboard — Previously, if an MP3 had a processing issue, it failed silently. Now you'll see clear error messages right in your dashboard so you can take action immediately.
- Feed redirects for moved podcasts — If you've moved a podcast, feeds.fireside.fm now handles redirects properly so listeners following your old feed URL still find you.
- Plan-based upload limits — Upload size limits now scale with your plan tier, giving higher-tier plans more headroom.
- Modernized podcast site themes — Upgraded all listener-facing podcast sites to Bootstrap 5 for a more modern look and better performance.
Performance
- Streaming episode imports — Importing episodes from another host now streams downloads instead of buffering entire files in memory, making large imports more reliable.
Fixes
- Fixed rendering issues with dark podcast themes.
