Impact of replacing the audio file on a podcast episode?

Quote

If I was to go into that post and replace the MP3 file in the audio block with a corrected version, would that file seemlessly replace the original in all the locations the RSS feed sends it to?

Hi Impega,

I do this all the time.

Yes, the audio file will be replaced in the RSS feed and shouldn't cause any problems. The order of the episodes is based on publication date of the blog post and the podcasting metadata that you add to the audio block.

It may take some time for the new audio file to propagate to all endpoints (e.g. Apple Podcasts, vs. Spotify vs. Stitcher, etc.), and if a listener has already downloaded the old file, it will not replace that unless they opt to download again (but there is no notification on the user's end that the audio file has changed).

Hope that helps!
