Here's an unfortunately controversial #podcasting opinion:
If your #podcast-hosting provider or publishing tool doesn't let you customize the episode's Apple Podcasts <itunes:title> separate from the normal <title>, they're doing it wrong.
This breaks compatibility with countless other apps and actually hurts the audience experience instead of improving it.
