Most podcasters ignore MP3 filenames. That is a mistake. Your MP3 filename becomes part of your public URL. Once it is in your RSS feed, it is permanent. If you publish: Episode 12 FINAL v3 (new mix).mp3 That name is now baked into your feed, cached by apps, and distributed everywhere. Rename it later and you risk broken downloads. Best practice is simple: Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Example: myshow-episode-012.mp3 No spaces. No special characters. No version labels. And do not rename files after publishing unless you fully understand redirects. I have seen show migrations get messy fast because of inconsistent file naming across hundreds of episodes. This is a small detail. It becomes a big one later. I deal with podcast feeds and migrations every day. Clean filenames save real support time. Your MP3 filename is infrastructure. Treat it that way. Facebook Version. Shorter. Straight talk. Podcast tip that prevents future headaches. Your MP3 filename becomes part of your permanent public URL. If you upload something like: Episode 5 FINAL NEW FIXED.mp3 That exact name goes into your RSS feed. Apps cache it. If you rename it later, downloads can fail. Keep it simple: lowercase hyphens numbers no spaces no special characters Example: myshow-episode-005.mp3 Set the pattern on episode one and never rename published files. I work with podcast feeds every day. This small detail prevents a lot of unnecessary problems later.

This is big news for the sector here in Canada. Roku is big on our TVs, and Tubi are active in content deals. Bell Media is their domestic partner. If this bet on ad-supported streaming pays off for Fox Corporation you can expect more spending on content at attractive price points. Which might be an opportunity for unscripted production in particular. Clearly the future of TV is distribution. To what degree will Netflix and other premium services want to cannibalize their high revenue per user subscription models? And, apart from YouTube , who is going to deliver the old fashioned free broadcast experience? https://lnkd.in/gB_Uwa6E

Bill Magnuson, CEO of Braze, says the "SaaSocalypse" fears are overblown. Braze closed its fiscal year with over 50% bookings growth, driven by an AI roadmap launched at its Forge conference. He argues that agentic AI workflows require high-performance, reliable platforms — Braze's decade of scale infrastructure now accelerates those workflows. He highlights cultural moments like the World Cup as proof that real-time agility can't be DIY'd. Full Fortt Knox conversation linked in the comments:

Spotify’s Attack on 20% of Local Radio Dollars ... Most radio stations can’t see it coming … but it’s coming this year from one of radio’s most potent adversaries. This has nothing to do with a streaming service stealing radio listeners, it's about how they plan to get local businesses to give them one-fifth of their ad budget. https://lnkd.in/e2XJ_Cey
