@atpfm Do you as the podcaster have a way to kick Apple's podcast crawler? The lag between I see the episode posted on social and when it shows up in the Podcasts app is mildly frustrating.

Usually the lag is, I'd say, less than 30 minutes. Yesterday, ep 608, was way worse than usual: it was, like, more than three hours after the social post that the episode finally showed in Podcasts. Not sure why. Maybe because you posted on Friday the week before?

@atpfm Bump on this. The Apple Podcasts crawler seems to be heavily biased toward historical release-day-of-the-week. When you release an episode on not-Thursday, it might help to kick the crawler, as outlined in the link. Today's episode is not showing up yet.
