Podcast is a content type for publishing podcast episodes in your community. Each episode gets its own page with a player, and every podcast page ends with a shared Podcast Station section that points listeners to the platforms your show is published on.
Podcast works much like Video content. Episodes are added at the community level — clubs do not have their own podcast content.
Turning on Podcast
Every community has Podcast, but it is hidden until you turn it on. Go to Content → Podcasts and switch Visibility on, at the top right of the page.
While Visibility is off:
Podcast does not appear as a content type in Collections, or in the content type filter of the custom page builder
Podcast does not appear in collaborator permission settings
Podcast content does not appear in your community
Once Visibility is on, Podcast appears in all of those places and members can see your published episodes.
Renaming Podcast
If “Podcast” is not what your community calls its show, you can rename the module. On the Podcasts page, select Name, enter the name you want to display, and save your changes.
Names can be up to 25 characters. The new name replaces “Podcast” across both your community and the dashboard.
Adding an episode
Go to Content → Podcasts.
Select New Podcast.
Fill in the episode’s details: title, URL slug, podcast URL, description, poster image, published time, tags and speakers.
Publish the episode when you are ready. As with other content, you can create episodes and leave them unpublished until you want them live.
The podcast URL must link to a single episode that can be played, not to the show as a whole. Links from Simplecast, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube all work. If a link is rejected, check that it points at one episode rather than the whole series.
Episodes can be edited, unpublished and deleted in the same way as your other content. The Podcasts list can be searched by title and filtered by tags, access and status.
Podcast Station
The Podcast Station section appears at the bottom of every podcast page in your community. It is configured once and shared by every episode. To set it up, select Podcast Station at the top right of the Podcasts page.
You can set the station’s name, image, title and description, and choose which podcast platforms to show. For each platform you can enter the URL of your show on that platform. If you leave a platform’s URL empty, its icon links to that platform’s homepage instead.
Where podcast episodes appear
Once Podcast is turned on, episodes behave like your other content:
They appear in the content list and in the content type filter, in the dashboard and in your community
They can be added to community collections and to content, event and course collections
They can be shown through the Content component on custom pages
They appear in search results
They support likes and comments, following your community’s Content settings
Podcast pages can be translated like other content
Permissions
Podcast content follows the same permission model as your other content. Community collaborators can be given podcast permissions, and an individual episode can carry its own permissions.
