Episodes
Guides for creating and editing episodes and using the episode editor.
An episode belongs to a show and is built from a sequence of segments (recorded or uploaded clips, or inserts from your library).
Only users with manager or owner role on the show can create new episodes. View and editor roles see the option disabled.
- Open the show and go to the Episodes section (or episodes list).
- Click New episode (or similar).
- Enter at least the title (and optionally description, season/episode numbers, and other metadata).
- Save or continue. You'll be taken to the episode editor or the episode list; open the episode to edit it.
- Episode editor overview - Build the episode from segments, trim, and render.
- Publishing and status - Set draft/scheduled/published and publish to your feed.
- Segments - Recording, uploading, library inserts, and making the final episode.
The episode editor is where you build an episode from a list of segments. You can reorder them, trim, split, remove silence, add transcripts, and then generate the final audio file.
- Segment list - The ordered list of segments that will be concatenated into the final episode. Each segment is either recorded for this episode, uploaded as a file, or inserted from your library.
- Waveform - Visual representation of the segment or full episode; used for trimming and positioning.
- Actions per segment - Record, upload, insert from library; trim start/end; split; remove silence; noise suppression; generate transcript; ask an LLM about the transcript (if enabled).
- Add segments - Record new sections, upload audio, or insert from the library. See Recording segments, Uploading and library inserts.
- Reorder - Drag segments to change order.
- Edit - Trim, split, remove silence, or apply noise suppression as needed. See Trim, split, and silence.
- Optional - Generate transcripts (Whisper) and use LLM helpers for a segment. See Transcripts and LLM.
- Make final episode - Click Make Final Episode to render the concatenated audio. See Making the final episode.
The editor supports real-time collaboration: other users with access to the episode can see segment and render updates live.
- Creating episodes
- Segments - All segment-related tasks
- Library - Reusable intros, bumpers, etc.
Episodes can have a status (e.g. draft, scheduled, published) that controls whether they appear in the public RSS feed and when.
- Draft - Not included in the public feed; visible only to you and collaborators in the app.
- Scheduled - Optionally set a publish date/time; the feed may include or exclude it until that time depending on instance behavior.
- Published - Included in the public RSS feed so subscribers and directories see the episode.
Use the episode's Settings or metadata section to set status and, if supported, schedule time.
If the show has Show Scheduled Episodes enabled (see Podcasts: Show settings), scheduled or future-dated published episodes appear on the public feed and episode pages as Premiering [date] until the release time; audio and waveforms are not served until then.
- Build your episode in the episode editor and click Make Final Episode so the final audio file exists.
- Set the episode status to published (or scheduled, if you use scheduling).
- If you use Podcast Delivery (export), deploy from the show's delivery settings so the updated RSS and audio are pushed to S3, FTP, or your other targets. See Export and delivery.
Listeners see new episodes when they refresh the feed; if you use a CDN or external host, they may need to wait for cache or sync.
