How to delete a single episode of my podcast?

Hey there,


Wondering if anyone can help me out?


I made a podcast last year in August and never really did anything after that. It is only now that i'm thinking of making another episode of the podcast.


However I really would like to delete the first episode and start afresh.


So does anyone know how to delete an episode of the podcast and keep the podcast running for future episodes.


Nath


p.s - pretty new to podcasting, still working out how to do it all.

You can simply delete the episode from your feed and add a new one, then re-uploaad the feed. New subscribers will see the change immediately; the iTunes Store will take a couple of days or so to catch up. Of course if you have any existing subscribers who have downloaded the episode they will still have it.


Don't delete the episode and then have a delay before adding the new one - if that were to go on for some time the podcast might be removed from the Store.


When you come to add future episodes, just add them and re-upload the feed. At no point do you have to re-submit the feed (indeed you can't).

I'm not familiar with Podomatic, but you should have no difficulty deleting the episode, and then adding a new one using the same process you originally used. They would then re-publish (same thing as upload) the feed - either automatically or perhaps you have to click a 'Publish' or similar button. If it's not clear you would need to look in their Help.

Thanks very much, hopefully once i publish it on Podomatic, then it will automatically publish it on the itunes page i had already set up.


One more question if you have time:


On the itunes page where the name of the podcast, the description and episode appear. In order to edit these would you do this through itunes or on the page where the podcast is uploaded (in my case podomatic)? if it is itunes, how would i find where to do this?


thanks again
