Episode Author
The “Author” field is used to specify the creator or responsible person for a specific podcast episode.
This is useful for several reasons:
- 📢 Public Display: The author is shown in many podcast apps (e.g., Apple Podcasts or Spotify), if this information is included in the feed.
- 👤 Attribution: For podcasts with multiple contributors, the field helps clarify who is responsible for the content.
- ⚖️ Legal: In some cases, it's important to name the author correctly for copyright purposes.
- 📂 Internal Organization: It also helps you organize episodes more effectively within your team.
🛠 Where can I find this setting?
You can set the author when editing an episode:
- Go to your podcast and you will see the Episode Overview.
- Open the episode you want to edit or create a new one.
- Switch to the “General” tab.
- There you’ll find the “Author” field.
