Formatting your podcast's show notes for different apps Methodology note: This was a practical HTML compatibility test, not a peer-reviewed academic study. One specially formatted podcast RSS feed was viewed in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Castbox, Pocket Casts and Overcast. The test demonstrated that headings, links, lists, tables, images and other HTML elements were rendered inconsistently between podcast apps. It did not measure downloads, listener engagement or the effectiveness of different show-notes writing styles.
