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.
