Micro.Blog Podcast and Apple Podcasts

Podcasting
1

I’m testing my micro.blog-hosted podcast in Apple Podcasts Connect, where I entered the rss feed (https://johnarthurnichol.com/podcast.xml).

Apple Podcasts filled most of its fields from the rss feed, but some of the values are problematic, and I can’t edit these fields directly.

Name: I think this field should contain the podcast title, but instead it shows ‘John Arthur Nichol’, possibly drawn from
<title>John Arthur Nichol</title> in the rss feed.

Channel: No channel is listed.
(the rss feed has a ‘channel’ tag, but no specific value: it only serves as a container (?) for the rest of the rss feed.

Type: Episodic (cannot change this but it should be Serial)

Show Website (Optional): this field shows my main website at micro.blog (https://johnarthurnichol.com/), but I would prefer it to show https://johnarthurnichol.com/podcast/

What can I do, within micro.blog, to change the data displayed for these source fields in the rss feed?

Within Micro.blog, you’ll find podcast-related settings under the Design page, and a couple of plug-ins for tweaking the title and category.

And if you’re comfortable with the Hugo templating language, you can fully customize the podcast RSS feed template via a custom theme.

Hi, Sven @sod,

Thank you for replying. You’re always there with help, and its deeply appreciated.

I’ll head over to the design settings now. I’ll do a search for those plug-ins, too.

Sadly, I’m not Hugo-adept.

Cheers,
John
