RSS 2.0 makes an item's title optional, and some blogs leave it out on purpose: 50 of Scripting News's 59 items, 12 of ranchero.com's 21, 15 of John's Road Trip's 25 (2026-10-02). The list, reader, player and Currently Listening show each as "(untitled)", which says nothing about any of them. ipodderx-core stored an empty title and invented none. Wanted: the opening words of the item's text, set as text rather than as a heading; then its file's name; then its show and date.

Done in d238681: entryName names an untitled item from its text, then its file, then its show and date; the list sets it in regular weight, the reader drops the heading, and the player, lock screen, Currently Listening, native shell and Share use it. Browser test covers each fallback. Deployed.
