Podcast vs. Episode Sources
Podcast-level sources apply to every episode in a series. Episode-level sources are specific to a single episode.
Podcast Sources
Podcast sources are attached to the series itself and carry across every episode you create. They're best for evergreen reference material: brand guidelines, company overviews, host bios, or anything you want every episode to reference. You can add up to 3 sources per podcast, managed during podcast setup or from Edit Podcast.
In the Podcast Agent chat, podcast sources display with a Podcast Source label so you can distinguish them from episode sources.
Episode Sources
Episode sources are the unique material for one specific episode, added directly in the Podcast Agent chat. Use these for the article or report that inspired this week's episode, a guest interview recording, or topic-specific notes. There is no fixed limit on episode sources.
Mix both source types for the best results. Use podcast sources for your brand voice and background, then add episode sources for the specific topic you're covering.
