Starting today, you can now easily edit the hosts for a specific episode, swapping out a host or adding a new one for an episode without modifying the entire podcast series.

How it Works
We're assuming you already have hosts created and added to a podcast series. If you don't know how to do that, check out this article.
When you create a podcast in Jellypod, you first need to create a few AI hosts and add them to your new show. These hosts each have a rich backstory, name, and expressive natural voice.
But sometimes you want to change your podcast hosts just for one episode, bringing in a new voice or opinion (or even creating a guest voice clone of your friend).
Before today, that process was confusing and clunky.
You had to go to the podcast series, edit it, update the hosts, and then regenerate your episode's script. And by changing the hosts, it also impacted other episodes where you didn't want the hosts to change!
We removed all of that.
Now when you create a new episode, there's a new button on the top-right that says "Hosts". Clicking on it will bring up all your hosts, giving you the ability to select the hosts you want to use in this specific episode. By default, the podcast series hosts are selected - meaning you never have to worry about this if you're not changing your hosts per episode.
Not only can you select hosts when creating a new episode, but we've also added the ability to modify hosts while editing an episode! Just click on the "Hosts" button in the toolbar and select the hosts you want. Don't forget to regenerate the script after you select a new host.
This change is minimal but powerful. We hope it enables more flexibility and creativity using Jellypod!
