Update on Apple Podcasts and YouTube features for WON/F4W subscribers

Posted on by Ian Carey

An update regarding features for our subscribers is available.

WON/F4W shows are now being uploaded immediately to Apple Podcasts. Previously, there had been long delays before our shows were being published on the platform.

On YouTube, our members shows will now continue to play in the background. Previously, the shows would often cease to play if something other than YouTube was opened on your device.

Bryan Alvarez is very pleased with this.
