Had a weird problem with a SJ episode - it was created in Apple, but had empty title and description.
That shouldn't happen - those fields should have values by the time we're publishing and then publishing to Apple.
But, somehow it did, but then there were no calls to Apple::Episode.update_episodes, so the attributes stayed blank.
So, while we try to figure out the mechanism that an invalid episode got created, we can change the episode sync to update episodes that are still DRAFTING publish state in Apple, which should be prior to sync with the public episode that locks down updates.
When this happened, attempts to publish the episode failed with this info:
