That's what im referring to in the OP. The podcast 2.0 index is the thing that has the problem, which is making  @merryoscar have to rebuild the whole thing and implement something different.

If i could figure out what the hell is happening with the podcast 2.0 index I'd LOVE to just get it fixed, but i've been trying for a very long time and it hasn't changed in at least 2+ years.
