BTW we all know there isn't an RSS 2.0 feed, it isn't a podcast, but rather than getting all preachy, which no one likes, mention a "podcast feed" as a real thing that's expected. Always add "feed" when you say podcast.
The feed gives you and podcast producers the thing that makes podcasting so different -- freedom. For listeners it means if you don't like something the software does, you can switch without losing anything. And for producers there's no one who can stop you from speaking. There is always a way around a blockage. But only if there's an RSS feed.

A not-insignificant part of my job is fielding phone calls from freelance writers who have questions. The questions can vary—Have you heard of any job openings? Are you interested in this pitch? An editor at another publication is trying to screw me, what should I do? Can you help me get a credential to this…

Favorites are the easiest way to save a Political Wire post you want to come back to later. You’ll now see a small bookmark icon next to the Comments link […]
