Within Podcast.co Studio, head to the show you want to add a new episode for.
Click the orange "Upload Episode" button, or drag and drop the audio file into the Episodes area.
Tip: Podcast.co supports both MP3 and M4A audio files. If you have mastered your episode in a different format, we recommend exporting into MP3 for best compatibility.
Once your file has uploaded, the New Episode screen will be displayed.
Tip: We recommend completing as much information here as possible. Remember this information will be publicly listed on directories so make it pop!
*Required Field
Episode Name*: The title of your episode.
Description*: This can be up to 4000 characters and describes the content of the episode for your audience. A truncated version may be shown in summary areas on supported directories.
Episode Artwork: This is optional and only supported by some directories. If you do not set this your podcast artwork will be used. This must be 1400 x 1400 and JPEG or PNG.
Author: Usually the host or brand is set as the author. If this field is left blank, your podcast author will be used.
Episode Type: Many directories including Apple Podcasts support episode types. Choose from the following options:
Full - This is a standard episode
Trailer - Displays the episode in the 'Trailer' section of a supported directory. If you have a teaser or trailer for your podcast or upcoming season, choose this option.
Bonus - Displays the episode in the 'Bonus' section of a supported directory. If your Podcast has additional bonus content separate from usual episodes choose this option.
Episode & Season Number: Break your podcast up into seasons and define a running order using episode numbers. Apple Podcasts among other directories support Seasons and Episodes.

Once you have completed the episode information choose when you'd like it to go live.
