Publishing Episodes to Your Feed
Once your feed is set up, you can publish episodes directly from the Studio:
Publish Now
Make the episode available immediately. Platforms typically update within a few hours.
Schedule for Later
Set a future date and time. The episode will automatically publish at that moment.
Backdate
Migrating from another platform? Set a past date to maintain your episode order.
Submitting to Podcast Platforms
With your RSS feed URL, submit your podcast to these major platforms:

podcasters.apple.com

Google Podcasts
podcastsmanager.google.com
Amazon Music

Tip: Submit once, publish forever. After you submit your RSS feed to a platform, new episodes are automatically picked up—you don't need to submit again.
Episode Metadata
Each episode has metadata that appears in podcast apps:
Title
What listeners see in their feed. Keep it clear and compelling.
Description
A paragraph explaining what the episode is about. Shows in podcast apps when someone taps for details.
Summary
A one-line teaser. Used for social sharing and quick previews.
Explicit Flag
Mark episodes with adult content. Required for platform compliance.
The AI generates this metadata automatically when creating your script. You can edit it anytime in the episode editor.
Scheduling Episodes
Consistency is key for podcast growth. You can schedule episodes in advance:
Pick your time zone
Set your preferred time zone so scheduled times make sense for you.
Choose date and time
Select when the episode should go live. Most podcasters publish in the morning.
Create a schedule
Set up a recurring schedule for your series (e.g., every Tuesday at 6am).
Publishing Best Practices
Be consistent
Publish on the same day each week. Listeners appreciate predictability.
Write good titles
Clear, specific titles get more clicks than vague ones. "How Coffee Changed History" beats "Episode 5."
Use keywords
Include relevant keywords in titles and descriptions. This helps with search discovery.
Preview before publishing
Always listen to your episode before making it public. Catch issues early.
Common Questions

Yes, you can remove episodes from your feed. They'll disappear from podcast apps within 24-48 hours.
Do I need to upload artwork?
Yes, podcast platforms require artwork. It should be square (1400x1400 to 3000x3000 pixels) in JPG or PNG format.
