Keep the next release straightforward.

Assign responsibilities first, then choose the smallest supported role that can complete them.

Hand over one identifiable draft, a clear decision and the evidence needed to approve it.

Use delivery metrics for delivery questions and app engagement metrics for the listening behaviour they actually observe.

Locate the affected dates and episodes before deciding whether a spike means new listeners, a measurement change or something else.

Test the entire access lifecycle, including removal, before using a feed for a bounded audience.

Identify the failing path before replacing files, republishing episodes or moving the feed.

Review capacity, responsibilities and unresolved exceptions without turning reporting into busywork.

Move and verify the publication before ending the service that still holds its working media.

Keep the originals and the recovery references; a feed URL alone is not a backup of your work.
