- Go to the Episodes section
- Click the Create episode or Upload episode button
- Select the show the episode belongs to
- Upload the audio file in MP3 format

- Configure publication (draft, immediate, or scheduled)
- Save the episode
Audio File Requirements
Section titled “Audio File Requirements”Episode Metadata

Select the show the episode belongs to. The episode will inherit the show’s settings (default image, transcription level, tags, etc.).
Title and Description
Section titled “Title and Description”- Title: the episode name that listeners will see. If you leave the title empty and the episode is transcribed, AI will generate one automatically
- Description: a more detailed description of the content. This can also be automatically generated by AI if the show has full transcription enabled
You can upload a specific cover image for the episode. If you do not upload one, the show’s default image will be used.
Publication Options
Section titled “Publication Options”When creating an episode, you can choose when it gets published:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Draft | The episode is saved but not visible to listeners. You can edit and publish it later |
| Publish now | The episode is published immediately and will be available on the website and RSS feed |
| Schedule | Select a future date and time. The episode will be published automatically at that time |
Automatic Processing

- Cloud upload: the file is copied to storage servers to ensure availability
- Transcription: if the show has transcription enabled and daily budget is available, the episode will be transcribed automatically
- AI insights: after transcription, title, summary, tags, and sections will be generated according to the configured transcription level
- Waveform: a waveform visualization is generated for the audio editor
