• The title and description of your podcast.

• Links to your cover art.

• Details for every single episode (title, description, audio file link, duration, release date, etc.).

• Podcast platforms (like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, etc.) "read" this RSS feed to get all the updates for your show. When you publish a new episode, it gets added to this feed, and the platforms then see it and make it available to listeners.

• Analytics prefix is the main part of your website URL that you enter so analytics knows which site to track

• This is a short link added to the beginning of your episode file URL. It helps track how many people play or download your podcast.

  It works by sending the listener through a tracking service before they reach the actual audio file. This lets you see things like:

  • How many listens you got

  • Where people are listening from

  • What apps they’re using

  • How your ads are performing

23. Once you are done click "Save"
