Edit episode details, cover and show notes
Change an episode's title, description, cover art, explicit flag and season, and control the source-link show notes added to the description.
Where you edit an episode's details depends on its status. These steps cover one episode; for the podcast's own name, cover and settings, see Editing Podcast Details. More guides are in Podcasts and Episodes.
Draft episodes
Open the draft from the episode list to reach the episode editor, then click Edit Details beside the title. The dialog has the cover art thumbnail, Title and Description (rich text). Click Save Changes to apply them (the button stays disabled until something changes).
To set the cover, click the thumbnail:
- Upload: JPEG, PNG, GIF or WebP, up to 10 MB.
- Generate episode cover: shown when your podcast has its own cover. It generates an image in your podcast cover's style, and you can add a short hint to steer it.
- Generate with AI: shown when the podcast has no cover. You describe the image you want.
If an episode has no cover of its own, the podcast's cover is used as the fallback, including in your RSS feed.
Published and scheduled episodes
Open the episode's details page and click the Edit Episode Details button at the top. The dialog has:
- Title, Description and the cover art picker.
- Explicit content: a toggle, described below.
- Season: shown only if the podcast has at least one season (options are No season and each season). See Podcast Seasons.
- Published On: a date and time picker, for published episodes only. For scheduled episodes it is hidden, so change the time with Edit Schedule instead.
Click Confirm to apply your changes. They go live immediately and do not autosave. Title is required.
To change an episode's audio, script or visuals, click Edit Episode instead, then Update Episode when you are done. See Updating a published episode.
Explicit content
Jellypod scans the transcript when an episode publishes and sets the toggle for you. If the rating is wrong, flip it manually. Publishing the episode again re-scans it and can overwrite your override. Your whole show is marked explicit in the feed whenever any episode is. See Explicit content in your RSS feed.
Show notes
When Include show notes is on, Jellypod adds a Show Notes list of source links to the end of the episode description. The setting is on by default and lives in two places:
- Manual episodes: the settings dropdown in the Create New Episode box.
- Automations: the automation's settings, for both Schedule and Inbound Email triggers.
A source is listed only if it shaped the episode's outline and the claim it supports made it into the final script. Sources that were consulted but unused, or cut during revisions, are left out. If none qualify, no list is added even with the setting on. Each entry shows the page title and its URL; only public web links are included.
Show notes are ordinary description text, so edit or delete them like anything else: in Edit Details on a draft, or in Edit Episode Details once published. Turning the setting off only stops links being added. It does not change what the episode researches.
