The sample basic feed below shows where this tag appears in each
episode (you may need to scroll down to see it). It can also appear in
the top section of the tag to refer to the entire podcast.
This tag is used to warn visitors that your podcast contains adult
language or sexual content. If this is present, the tag should contain
the single word 'true' (without the quotes), otherwise 'false'.
If 'true', a small 'explicit' graphic will in the Store page if it
refers to the entire podcast, or next to the episode title in the list
if it refers only to the episode. Similarly if 'false' a 'clean' graphic will
appear; however if the tag is absent anything
else no graphic will appear.
If your podcast or episode contains adult language or sexual content
and does not have the 'true' entry in the 'explicit' tag it may result
in your podcast being rejected or removed. If even just one of your
episodes is explicit this tag in the top section of the feed must also
be set to 'true'.
