Trick or Threat: Keeping Your Podcast and Website Safe This Halloween
Send us feedback/questions via Text
It’s Halloween, and the scariest thing on this episode isn’t a costume. Jim is back from Brazil with an urgent warning: a serious PHP zero-day is putting WordPress sites at risk, and he explains why you should patch today or take your site offline. Dave has a deadline of his own: if you ever used Podcorn as a prefix, your podcast could break tomorrow. From there, the guys look at Instagram’s new 90-minute videos and ask who wanted them. They cover how to run an audience survey people will actually answer, and why being “too busy” means you should raise your prices. They also take on free discovery calls, whether your show needs its own app, and Zoom vs. StreamYard. Grab your candy and press play before your website gets spooked.
