It took close to 30 years for someone to be arrested in the drive-by murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur, an extraordinary stretch that turned the young singer’s 1996 killing into the stuff of legend and conspiracy.

A megadrought has drained Lake Mead by 70%, exposing sunken boats and a bathtub ring now nearly 19 stories tall. Bill Weir travels to the West's largest reservoir as the states face a reckoning over who gives up their share first.

Apple Video QA 03: HLS Video Validation

Apple Video QA 02: HLS Video Validation

Many modern podcast hosts (like Buzzsprout, Megaphone, or Anchor/Spotify for Podcasters) support WebSub.

• When you publish an episode, your host sends a "ping" to a hub (like Google’s or a proprietary one).
• Spotify subscribes to these hubs. The moment the hub receives the ping, it notifies Spotify to come and fetch the updated feed immediately. This is why some episodes appear in minutes rather than hours.

Once Spotify fetches the XML file, it parses the content to look for specific changes:

• GUID (Globally Unique Identifier): This is the most critical tag. Spotify looks at the for every . If it sees a GUID that doesn't exist in its database, it treats it as a new episode.
• PubDate: It checks the tag to determine the release order and whether a scheduled episode has become "live."
• Content Hashing: Spotify may also hash sections of the metadata. If the hash of an episode's description or title changes, it triggers an update to the display text in the app.
