• Exclusive: Apple Podcasts has made changes to the way it makes podcasts available in China. Working with podcasters inside China, Podnews has learnt that Apple is now able to remove specific episodes from shows, and that those episodes are hidden from users even if a user tries the RSS feed in the Apple Podcasts app.
  
  
  
  
  • As two examples: Lex Fridman has 22 recent shows removed; the Joe Rogan Experience is missing eight recent shows.
  
  
  • We’ve written an availability checker for Apple Podcasts, to understand what is available where. More details in the article.
