PODCAST PUBLISHING · Workflow idea

Publish the right audio, description, and date—not just the next file in a folder.

For a podcast producer with rights to an episode and its music, prepare an audio archive copy and a proposed feed entry. A public file link may expose unreleased audio, metadata errors can publish the wrong episode, and a feed update can distribute widely. Confirm rights and credits for speakers, music, and clips; verify the final audio, title, description, and release date; protect unpublished files; and require the producer to approve the exact feed update before publication.
