Show Notes
Automatically add a list of source links to the end of an episode's description so listeners can see where the information came from.
Overview
When Show Notes is on, Jellypod appends a Show Notes list to the end of an episode's description, linking out to the pages that materially informed the episode. This works the same way whether the episode was created manually or by an automation.
Turning Show Notes On or Off
Look for Include show notes in the settings dropdown next to Auto-Publish:
- Manual episodes: In the Create New Episode box (from the studio dashboard or a podcast's episode list), open the settings dropdown next to Auto-Publish.
- Automations: In the automation's advanced settings, alongside Web Search and Auto-Publish, for both Schedule and Inbound Email triggers.
Include show notes is on by default for new episodes and new automations. Turn it off if you'd rather keep the description free of links.
What Gets Included
Jellypod only links sources that materially informed the episode, not every source you attached or every page it researched. A source only appears in Show Notes if:
- It genuinely shaped the episode's outline, and
- The specific claim it supports made it into the final script.
Sources that were consulted but not actually used, or that got cut during script revisions, are left out. If no source meets that bar, no Show Notes list is added, even with the setting on.
Each entry shows the page's title linking to its URL, listed under a Show Notes heading at the end of the description.
Editing or Removing Show Notes
Show Notes are part of the episode description, so you edit or delete them the same way you edit any other description text. See Editing Episode Details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does turning off Include show notes change what the agent researches?
No. It only controls whether source links are appended to the description. The agent researches and cites sources in the script the same way either way.
Why doesn't my episode have a Show Notes list even though the setting was on?
Show Notes only include sources that materially shaped the outline and whose exact claim made it into the final script. If no source met that bar, nothing is appended.
Can I remove the Show Notes list after an episode is generated?
Yes. It's part of the description, so you can edit or delete it inline on a draft, or through Edit Episode Details once the episode is published.
