Validate for existing drafts before allowing a one off episode to be published

[brandonhundt]

Jeanne let me know a few producers are creating new drafts on dates when drafts already exist, causing issues with previously targeted faked-in flights. Jeanne highlighted the following use cases:

• producer created a new draft on a date when a draft already existed with flights targeted to it.

So, to me, possible solutions lie in a few places, but we should probably look at adding something to alert producers that a draft for "today" already exists and creating a new draft, when one already exists, may cause issues with ads.

Something like that???

Just now from Jeanne:

just wanted to surface something that just happened…. Normal Gossip launched today, it was their first ep in Podcasts, so they created a new ep and then deleted the old episode draft, which is all well and fine from a publishing side, except that we had a faked-in campaign targeted towards the old draft, which was deleted/not used to publish. So we missed a bunch of imps, but I think we’ll be ok because Melissa caught it in time. Potential solution… I think that if there a way for whoever is in Podcasts to see that there is something targeted to that ep, that might give them pause before they delete drafts, even though I know that in this case it was a little more complicated
