Publishing an Episode

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. Click Publish Episode to confirm.

To download your episode as a video or audio file, use the separate Download button in the toolbar. See Downloading Video and Audio for details.

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?
