Media Host Captivate released a list of new features that are part of the Podcasting 2.0 specifications. We hear phrases like "medium," and "value" but what are they? What can I do with them? Who are they for? 

New Features From Captivate

The new features they introduced are:

• podcast:episode – this tag represents your podcast’s episode number.
• podcast:season – used for seasonal podcasts to show which episodes are part of which season.
• podcast:guid – a unique identifier globally recognized number (36 characters) for each podcast RSS feed by the Podcast Index.
• podcast:locked – you can set this to yes or no. The purpose is to tell other platforms whether they can import this feed.
• podcast:funding – podcast can tag lists for donation and funding e.g. you can point to Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, or even PayPal. Integrates with your Captivate donation link.
• podcast:license – this tag allows podcasters to point to a URL where license terms of a podcast live.
• podcast:medium – tells the application what the content contained within the feed IS, as opposed to what the content is ABOUT in the case of a category.
• podcast:txt – this element holds free-form text and is modeled after the DNS “TXT” record. It’s meant to allow for usages that might be niche or otherwise not rise to the level of needing a dedicated tag.
• podcast:value – used to enable Value4Value crypto payments.
• podcast:location – use this tag to describe the location of what the podcast is about. It’s NOT the podcaster’s physical address or location. If it’s a podcast about sightseeing in London recorded by someone in LA, the tag would set this as London.
