That GUID is then meant to follow the podcast from then on, for the duration of its life, even if the feed url changes. This means that when a podcast moves from one hosting platform to another, its podcast:guid should be discovered by the new host and imported into the new platform for inclusion into the feed. @@ -1065,4 +1065,4 @@ common use, this list will be updated by the community to reflect that. ```xml 2022-10-26T04:45:30.742Z -``` \ No newline at end of file +```
