Apple Podcast Connect has a new terms of service document. Comparing the old and the new, we notice new clauses about the “right to label or remove” your shows (¶1); a new clause about confidentiality (¶4); and a new license clause (¶8). It may allow Apple in future to label shows (as Spotify are doing for COVID-19), and promote guests on your show.
