Podcasts and feeds
On this page 3
Podcasts belong to a publication and contain episodes. This keeps subscriber identity, promotional campaigns, publication access, and audio content in the same workspace.
Episode workflow
- Create the podcast and its public metadata.
- Create an episode as a draft.
- Attach the durable audio asset and complete title, summary, duration, and publication time.
- Validate the generated feed.
- Publish and confirm that external directories can fetch both feed and media URLs.
- Send a campaign to the appropriate audience segment.
Feed stability
Use stable GUIDs and permanent enclosure URLs. Do not change identifiers after publication, since podcast clients may treat the item as a new episode. Keep media content type, file length, and duration accurate.
Access
For paid or mixed publications, enforce private feed or entitlement rules on the server. A hidden public URL is not an access-control mechanism.
