Publishing an Episode

Go live with one click: your episode is finalized, added to your RSS feed, and available on your podcast website.

How to Publish#

Publishing finalizes your audio, updates your RSS feed, and makes your episode available on your podcast website and connected platforms, either immediately or scheduled for a future time.

1. Open your episode in the editor and make sure audio has been generated.
2. Click the Publish Episode button in the toolbar. It pulses gently when your episode is ready.
3. In the publish dialog, choose Publish Now or Schedule for Later.
4. (Optional) Check to automatically download video to save the podcast video file after publishing completes.
5. Click Publish Episode to confirm.

Publishing Progress#

Once confirmed, the dialog transitions to a progress view showing the current step, a percentage counter, and a progress bar. Publishing happens in the background — your episode is rendered, finalized, and pushed to your RSS feed. You cannot close the dialog while publishing is in progress.

When complete, you are redirected to the episode detail view with a published status badge.

What Happens When You Publish#

Publishing triggers the following:

• Your podcast's RSS feed is updated immediately with the new episode
• Your podcast website displays the episode for listeners
• Any connected platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube) pick up the episode automatically through your RSS feed

Frequently Asked Questions#

How many credits does publishing cost?

Publishing costs 60 credits per minute of audio. Your current credit balance is shown in the publish dialog before you confirm.

Will my episode appear on Spotify and Apple Podcasts automatically?

Yes, if you have already set up distribution to those platforms. Publishing updates your RSS feed, and connected platforms pick up the new episode automatically.
