Rich Text Descriptions
You can now format your podcast's descriptions with rich-text, giving you the ability to add links, bolded or italicized text, and even bullet lists to your podcasts.
Rich text descriptions are now possible both on individual episodes and the overall podcast series.
What is Rich Text?
Unlike plain-text, rich text includes formatting elements such as bold, italics, and other visual styling options. This allows documents to have enhanced visual presentation and structure beyond the basic characters found in unformatted text files.
With rich text editing in your podcast or episode descriptions, you can enhance your content in several ways:
- Bold text helps emphasize key points, guest names, or important topics
- Italic text is perfect for book titles, quotes, or subtle emphasis
- Links allow you to direct listeners to resources, websites, social media profiles, or relevant articles mentioned in the episode
- Bullet and numbered lists organize talking points, timestamps, key takeaways, or resources in an easy-to-scan format
Podcast platforms, such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts, will correctly render your rich text descriptions, enabling you to link your content to other sites or give it a unique touch.
