Reuse Context Across Episodes with Podcast-Level Sources
Sources are the foundational context required to create engaging podcasts on Jellypod.
Beginning today, in addition to episode-level sources, you can now add sources at your podcast series level.
What are Sources?
When creating a podcast episode on Jellypod, most users will ground their new podcast in some external content such as a blog post, a PDF, or Powerpoint presentation. These sources are processed and used as context for your hosts to discuss in your podcast.
However, we've heard that there's often multiple episodes that use the same podcast source - such as a long-form article or brand guidelines - that every episode should be aware of.
With podcast level sources, this is now easily possible.
Podcast Level Sources
When creating or editing your podcast series, you're now provided with a step to upload sources to your podcast's knowledge base.
This optional step allows you to drag and drop files, add website links, or paste text that's associated with your podcast series and included in each new episode created in this podcast. This makes it easy to upload a global source file once at the podcast level rather than uploading the same source multiple times for each episode that needs it.
When you create an episode, that episode will use both the podcast-level source and episode-level sources, with episode sources taking priority over global sources.
Try it out today by editing any existing podcast or by creating a new podcast.
Other Improvements
We've also made some minor quality of life improvements regarding sources processing, improving the reliability of content ingestion and significantly reducing sources erroring out.
We've also improved adding sources via the episode outline step, with a new ability to drag and drop files directly in this area.
