And now, this week's episode.

Speaker:

When it comes to what format your podcast should be in,

Speaker:

there are three main choices.

Speaker:

Episodic, Episodic with Seasons, and Serial.

Speaker:

The first two are pretty straightforward and just mean that listeners can jump in at any time

Speaker:

regardless of what episode they actually start listening to your podcast.

Speaker:

They won't be confused because each episode stands on its own.

Speaker:

Episodic with Seasons just means that you're taking a break between seasons

Speaker:

so maybe a summer break, seasonal break, but listeners can still jump in at any time

Speaker:

no matter what season or episode.

Speaker:

With Serial, that's more geared towards storytelling podcasts

Speaker:

and requires the listener to start at the very beginning with episode one.

Speaker:

When you create your podcast with your podcast host,

Speaker:

you would choose what format you wish.

Speaker:

Episodic, episodic with seasons, or serial.

Speaker:

And then it would generally display episodes newest first for episodic

Speaker:

and oldest first for serial.

Speaker:

Until the next time, happy podcasting.
