As we try to solve the mystery of fluctuating podcast downloads, we delve into a more serious conversation sparked by recent trends on the Buzzsprout platform. Could it be the ripple effect of Apple's auto-download adjustments, or is something else at play? We offer up some troubleshooting tips for fellow podcasters. 

The discussion continues with a look at Spotify's latest features, including transcripts and chapter markers. We'll share firsthand experiences and management strategies to help podcasters make the most of these updates.

Alban will be at the Podcast Movement Meetups next week! If you want to join in on the fun, RSVP here:
