Firesiders,
I wanted to tell you about two bug-fixes that may require your attention, and the addition of a cool new feature.
First, the fixes:
- I've fixed the way Fireside was handling YouTube URLs (thanks, Alexandre!), and they are now free-form fields to account for the many URLs YouTube uses for users/channels/etc. I've done my best to migrate the data, but if you entered a YouTube URL for either your Podcast or any of your Hosts, please verify that the URLs are still correct. Most likely, they will just work.
- I've improved the way the Podcast Copyright field is formatted. Fireside now handles the © symbol and the date, you just enter the name of the copyright holder. Again, I've migrated the data, but it's probably worth checking.
And now, the feature: Per-Episode Hosts! By popular request, you can now select which of your hosts are active for each episode. This is a handy feature if you have multiple hosts, a different panel each week, etc. By default, all of your hosts will be selected; just un-check the host(s) that weren't part of the episode, and they won't appear on the episode's page (all visible hosts appear on the main podcast page).
Happy podcasting,
Dan
