Using Podspun

Yes. In Insights, click Report. Pick the dates (the presets cover 7, 30, or 90 days, or set an exact start and end), write an optional note that prints at the top, then Download PDF or enter an address and Send. The one-page report shows visitors, page views, AI questions, searches, signups, a views-by-day chart, and your top pages, sources, questions, searches, and episodes.

The sent email carries the PDF as an attachment and replies come to you. Reports cover up to 90 days, which is how long the daily figures are kept.

Go to Website Builder. Click Add Site to create one, or Open Builder on a site to edit it. A brand-new page offers three ways to start: pick a ready-made page layout, build it block by block, or ask the AI assistant. Changes save as a draft until you Publish.

The purple Visual Edit button opens the page itself for editing: click text to type, swap images in place, and drag blocks to arrange.

A chat panel inside the page editor that makes changes when you ask in plain words: shorten an intro, add a questions and answers section, give a section a dark background. Open a page in Website Builder, click the purple Visual Edit button, and pick the Visual AI Editor tab.

It edits a draft and every change is checked against your site's design, so it can only make the kinds of edits you could make yourself. Nothing goes live until you press Publish.

Open Site Assistant in the website editor. The Page Maker tab has one box: describe the page you want, like "a page about the science the show covers most". The AI first shows you its plan, the page title, its address, and the sections it will build, and nothing is created until you click Create this page. Then it drafts the page out of real blocks and drops you on a live preview of the finished page.

Under Options you can base the page on one of your episodes, so it writes only from what was actually said and links readers to the exact moments, and you can make it a news article instead of a regular page. The same box can make a whole starter site if you switch it to A Whole Site.

The Site Review tab works on the site you already have: Tighten Vertical Gaps closes big empty bands between sections, Grammar and Spelling suggests fixes for real mistakes in your text, and SEO Review suggests stronger search titles and descriptions. Each one scans first and shows you every change; nothing is applied until you accept it, one by one or all at once, and every accepted change saves a revision you can roll back.

Whatever the Page Maker makes is a private draft. You review the real output on the preview and it only goes public when you press Publish.

Yes. Open Site Assistant in the website editor and pick the Scrape a Page tab. Paste the address of one page on any public website and it comes across as a draft page on your site: the words in their written order, the photographs where they sit (each one added to your Assets), and the page's search title and description.

The Notes field tells the assistant what to make from the page. It can rewrite the page's text (shorten the intro, drop the prices, write it in the first person), create article types, and turn the links the page holds into articles. For example: "create a type called Press and make each article linked under Publications an external Press article" reads the page and plans one draft article per linked publication. Instructions like that open as an import plan under Imports: you see exactly what will be made, untick anything, and run it. Leave the Notes empty to bring the page across exactly as written.

It arrives as a draft, so nothing on your live site changes until you review and publish it. To move a whole site at once, with every page and blog post, use a full migration instead.

Ready-made pages: a set of blocks already arranged for a common kind of page. There are nine: Home Landing (a hero, an intro beside search, a featured carousel of recent news and episodes, the latest episodes, rows by topic, and a mailing list signup), Channel Landing (one show's full page: its banner beside search, highlights and quotes, rows by topic, the quiz, and the filterable episode index), About Landing (the story beside a photo), Team Landing, Basic text (one rich text area for plain written pages), News Landing (a headline, the newest article featured big, a grid of recent articles, and a More button), News article, Photo story, and Questions and answers. The generated Episodes page stays focused on the filterable archive, where visitors can narrow by type, topic, title, date, and sort order without repeating the channel landing. Each card in the picker is drawn in your site's own colors and fonts so you can see how it will look. Pick one, then replace the placeholder text and images with your own.

Find them on any empty page, or with the Pick a page layout button in the page editor.

Podspun adds these pages when they become useful: Episodes and Search once a show is connected, Channels once a custom-domain site features more than one show, and News once you publish your first article.

On Podspun.com hosting, these standard pages are managed for you and appear read-only under Entries, then Pages. News stays editable in its own section. On a custom-domain site, each is a normal page you can rename, edit, or set to Inactive. Home and Page Not Found always stay on, since the site needs both to work.

Open your site in Website Builder and edit the page. Click Add block and choose the Gallery block: a set of images or videos shown as a masonry grid (each one keeps its natural shape and they pack together neatly) or a carousel. You choose the column count and the spacing between items, and visitors click any item to view it full screen; videos play right in the viewer. Add each item with the image picker and give it an optional caption.

The Grid block also works for an even grid of images, the Media block holds a single image or video, and a Rich text block puts images inside text.

News (the section previously called "Off Mic") turns your website's news articles into a members newsletter. In an article's editor, set Who Can Read It to Members Only: visitors then see the opening of the post plus a join card, and the post wears a Members badge in your News listings. Readers join with their email and can sign in three ways: a one-time emailed sign-in link, a password created on Podspun's central member page, or Google. One Podspun member account works across every show they belong to.

Posts email themselves to your members the first time they publish (turn that off per site with Email Posts To Members Automatically under Payments & Pricing), and the article's Config tab keeps a Send to Members button for sending by hand; nothing is ever sent twice. The News workspace in your account is home base, under Shared Posts in the sidebar next to Quizzes & Games, with its own sections: Posts lists every post per website with a Write a Post button that opens a live editor of your own site, and each row has a checkbox: select posts (or select all) and Delete Selected removes them for good after you type DELETE to confirm; Members shows who joined with each member's tier (Free or Paid) and a Remove action (removal signs them out and closes members-only posts to them right away); Post Ideas reads your audience; Payments & Pricing holds Stripe and your prices.

Open Memberships (under Income in the sidebar). First connect a Stripe account (setup takes a few minutes; if you already use Stripe you can sign in with it). Then, for each website, turn on Offer Paid Memberships and set a monthly price, an annual price, or both, from $1 to $10,000.

Now set any article's Who Can Read It to Paid Members. Visitors and free members see the opening of the post plus a subscribe card with your prices; a reader signs in with their email, picks a plan, and pays through Stripe checkout. The money goes to your own Stripe account, and you handle payouts and refunds from your own Stripe dashboard. A paid member reads every paid post on the site, and Send to Members emails a paid post only to paying subscribers. Subscribers manage or cancel their plan through Stripe's billing portal, from the same subscribe card once they are paid.

Yes. On the News Automation Config tab, each website has a Draft Posts From New Episodes switch. With it on, whenever a new episode of your shows arrives and its transcript is ready, we write a companion article from that transcript, with links that jump readers to the exact moments on the episode page.

Every one of these arrives as a draft in your News library, never published and never emailed on its own. You read it, edit it, set who can read it (everyone, members, or paid members), publish, and send it to your members when you're happy with it. We draft each episode once and check for new episodes every hour, covering episodes published in the last week.

The Content Ideas section reads your visitors' last 30 days. The episodes people opened most each get a Draft a Post button: one click writes a companion article from that episode's own transcript and leaves it in your News library for you to review. Below that, the words people searched, including searches that found nothing, point at topics your audience already wants. Write one with Site Assistant's Page Maker.

The card only shows what happened on your sites. Before you have visitor activity, it says so instead of inventing ideas.

Readers get real accounts on your website, under /members (renameable in Memberships, under Income). They join with a secure one-time email sign-in link, continue with Google, or use their central Podspun member account. Opening an emailed link shows a Podspun confirmation button first, so an automatic mailbox scanner cannot use it before the reader does.

Signed-in members manage their newsletter preference, paid plan (through Stripe's own billing portal), and sign out at /members. Password setup and reset happen only on Podspun's secure central member page, never on a publisher-controlled website. A password reset signs out older member sessions across every show. A Members link appears in your site header automatically once you use News members posts, and the join card under every gated post points readers to the same pages.

Posts live under their own landing page, /posts, created automatically with your first post. It's a system page like your News landing: you can rename its address (to /newsletter, /letters, anything) and edit its layout in the CMS, but it can't be deleted. Your News section stays separate for press and announcements, so the newsletter and the news never mix.

Each post's address is /posts/<its-slug>, and the slug is editable in the post's editor. If a post is ever reached under the wrong address, it forwards permanently to the right one, so links never break.

Yes, and it is already on. Every News page shows a search box above the article grid: visitors type a word and the grid narrows to the articles whose title or summary match, including an article currently featured at the top. Clearing the box brings the full list back.

Next to it are buttons for each of your categories and tags, so a visitor can narrow to one subject, and buttons to read newest first or oldest first. Load More reveals the next batch. How many articles show before that first press is the News Index block's How Many In The Grid setting, in the page editor.

This searches news articles only. The episode search on your Episodes page is separate.

Yes. When you create a news article, an Article Type switch sits under the title: Internal Article (the default, a normal article you write in blocks) or External Press Link. An external article is a pointer to coverage somewhere else: you give it a title, a feature graphic, and the link to the outside piece, and set its publish date and category under Config like any article.

External articles appear in your News listings alongside your own articles, sorted by publish date, but clicking one opens the outside coverage in a new tab instead of a page on your site. They stay out of your sitemap since there is no on-site page to index.

Yes, two ways. In Entries, News, click Write from an episode, search your episodes, and pick one. Or open Site Assistant in the CMS sidebar, describe any page you want in Page Maker, and attach an episode to base it on. Either way the AI writes from that episode's own transcript, grounded in what was actually said, with links that jump readers to the exact moments on the episode page. It arrives as a draft for you to read, edit, and publish.

Yes. Open Site Assistant in your site's CMS sidebar and use Page Maker: describe what you want in plain words (a topic page, a questions and answers page, an article), optionally base it on one of your episodes so it writes from that transcript, and choose whether it lands as a regular page or a news article. It arrives as a draft built from real blocks, and one click removes it if you don't like it.

Yes. Open Site Assistant in your site's CMS sidebar (from Website Builder). Page Maker reads the shows on your site and drafts a home page, an about page, and more out of real blocks, including live episode blocks that stay current on their own. Everything arrives as drafts for you to review, edit, and publish, and one click removes the whole batch if you don't like it. Picking your colors and fonts is a separate switch, off unless you turn it on, because that is the one thing that changes your live look right away.

The same screen writes news articles from your episodes' transcripts, and points you to the Visual AI Editor for editing an existing page in plain words.

You already have one. Every site is built with a Contact page carrying a ready-to-use form (Name, Email, Message), linked from the footer of every page. Messages go to Contact Forms, on the Messages tab. Open it in the page editor to change the wording or the fields.

To build another form: go to your site's Forms section (in the CMS sidebar), give it a name and add any fields in any order. Text, Message, Email, Phone, and Date (visitors pick from a calendar). Each field has a label, an optional placeholder, and a Required switch; drag rows to reorder and delete any field. You can also style the submit button (label, alignment, full width; colors follow your site's button style). Then place the form on any page with the Form block and pick it.

Messages land in Contact Forms on the Messages tab, and each form can also email you every submission, replying straight to the visitor when the form asks for an email. When Email is on for your account and the form has an Email field, visitors also get a join-the-mailing-list checkbox with the same confirmation step as your signup forms. Spam protection (an invisible captcha and a honeypot) is built into every form, and each form's messages download as a CSV with a column per field.

A reusable block is content you write once and place on as many pages as you like. Every page holding it shows the same thing, so changing it in one spot changes it everywhere. You can spot one by its dashed orange outline and its Global tag, both in the block list and on the page itself.

Edit one the same way as anything else: click the text or image right on the page in the visual editor and change it. Because the content belongs to the shared block rather than to this page, the change shows on every page that holds it, and it goes live as soon as you finish typing instead of waiting for Publish (a reusable block has no draft of its own). If you want to change the wording on just one page, swap the reusable block for a normal block there.

Manage the full list under Reusable Blocks in the CMS sidebar, where you can rename one, edit it, or see which pages use it.

Yes. Anywhere you pick an image, open the asset browser and choose the Make with AI tab. Describe the image in plain words and click Make it. You see the result first, big, and nothing is saved yet: add it to your assets when you like it, or tweak the words and make a variation until it is right. There is also a Stock photos tab for searching free photos.

Assets holds every image and file your site uses, and it works the same as the picker you see anywhere you add an image. It opens on All assets, a searchable view of everything you have, so you never dig through folders to find a picture. Type in the search box to filter by name, Upload adds a file (or drag files straight from your desktop onto the panel), and clicking an image opens the editor to crop it or set its focal point.

The Stock photos tab searches free, no-attribution photos, and Make with AI generates an image from a description, shows it to you first, and saves it only when you approve it. Folders are optional: switch to Browse folders to organize, or ignore them and All assets still shows everything.

Use the Media block: one image or video with an optional caption, good for breaking up a long page. Add it in the page editor with Add block, then choose the image or paste the video.

Not usually. Every image you upload is described automatically (AI-made images keep the description you typed, stock photos keep the photographer's), and when you place an image in a block with an Alt Text field, the description fills in on its own. You can always edit it, and a hand-written line beats an automatic one for important images.

Rich text (paragraphs, headings, links, and embedded images or video), Hero (the top banner), Grid (an even grid of images or items, good for a gallery), Cards (a row of cards, with a Carousel option), Media (one image or video), CTA (a prompt with one button), Stats, Partner logos, Contact, Form (a contact form with its own inbox), FAQ, Email signup, News, and Spacer.

Plus live podcast blocks that stay current on their own: Episodes, Episodes archive, Episode list, Episode player, Playlist, Channels, Channel hero, Topics, AI Search, Caption search, Key moments, Pull quotes, and four games: the Monthly Quiz, Guess the Episode (a daily blur-reveal), Who Said It? (name the episode a quote is from), and Higher or Lower (before or after on the timeline), plus the Arcade Room that gathers them into one hub. Every game comes in a Classic or Arcade style. Add any of them with Add block in the page editor.

The games are interactive blocks built automatically from your own show. They give visitors a reason to stay, come back, and dig into your back catalog, because every game is drawn from your episodes and transcripts and links back to the real episode. There are four games, plus a hub called the Arcade Room that gathers them in one place.

The Monthly Quiz is a short set of questions drawn from what was said across your episodes, played right on the page with answers and explanations after each one. A new quiz arrives every month, written mostly from that month's episodes and skipping the ones the last few quizzes already asked about, so it is a gentle reason for people to check back and it does not keep circling the same episodes.

Guess the Episode is a daily game: one of your episode thumbnails appears heavily blurred and sharpens a little with each wrong guess. Naming it in fewer guesses scores more points (300, then 200, then 100). Everyone gets the same puzzle each day and a new one arrives at midnight, so there is a reason to come back tomorrow.

Who Said It? is endless: a real line from one of your transcripts appears and the player guesses which episode it came from. Right answers build a streak, one miss ends the run, and the best streak is saved. Every reveal links to the exact moment in the episode.

Higher or Lower is an endless timeline game: one episode shows its release date, a mystery episode hides its own, and the player calls whether it came out before or after. A right call keeps the streak going; one wrong call ends the run.

The Arcade Room is the hub. It shows an optional scoreboard on top (day streak and high scores, which you can turn off with the Show Scoreboard option) plus a grid of all four games. Visitors open one at a time, so the page stays short, and Columns sets how many game fronts sit per row. Drop the Arcade Room on a page to offer everything at once, or add any single game on its own.

Every game and the whole Arcade Room come in two looks, set by the Style option: Classic (the default) is a calm, clean card that matches your site's theme colors, and Arcade is a retro neon cabinet with a glowing marquee and press start. The game plays the same either way, so pick whichever fits your site.

The games run on your Podspun data, so connect a channel and publish your site. On an unpublished preview each game shows a short "coming soon" placeholder until Podspun has pulled in your episodes and transcripts. Add any of them with Add block in the page editor, under the Podspun Dataweaver Integration section.

Where each one lives. The Monthly Quiz belongs to a show, because its questions are about that show. Guess the Episode, Who Said It and Higher or Lower belong to a website: each website gets one pool per game covering every show on it, so a website with six shows has three pools rather than eighteen. Set a game block to a single show and it plays that show's part of the pool. The pools are only built for a website that has one of these games on a page, so nothing is generated for a game you have not used yet. Everything is listed and editable in Quizzes & Games.

A Hero has two parts. Slides are the backgrounds, and they move: add one for a still banner, or several and they rotate on their own like a carousel. Tick Add copy on a slide to give that one background its own words, which change along with it.

Fixed Content does not move. It stays in one place while the slides change behind it, so use it when you want the same words or buttons on every slide, like a headline or a Watch Now button that is always there. It is off until you press Add fixed content.

In the website editor, open the theme settings to pick a color palette and fonts, and set your logo with the image picker. The colors and fonts apply across the whole site.

Edits in the website editor save as a draft and do not change the live site until you Publish. Use the preview to see a draft first, then click Publish to make it live. You can roll back to an earlier version if needed.

A draft stays current on its own: if the live page gets edited while a draft is open, those live changes are folded into the draft the next time you open it (your own draft edits always win), so publishing a draft never quietly undoes newer live work. The What changed link next to the Draft chip lists every difference before you publish.

To publish several pages at once, go to Entries then Pages, tick the pages you want, and press Publish Changes in the bar at the bottom. It counts how many of the ticked pages have edits waiting, and it skips any page that is already up to date. A page missing something required is named and left alone rather than published half finished. This is not the same as the Set Status control beside it: status decides whether a page is live at all, while Publish Changes sends out the edits sitting on top of it.

Yes. In the page editor, set Go Live At in the sidebar to a future date and time. The page stays hidden until then, and appears on its own when the time passes. Leave it empty to be live right away. News articles schedule the same way with the Publish date in their Config tab.

Open the draft in the website editor and click What changed, next to the draft label at the top. It shows every difference side by side, the live page on the left and the draft on the right, with removed words struck out and new words highlighted. That covers page settings, blocks you added or removed, edits inside cards and slides, and rearranged blocks.

The Pages list shows the same thing at a glance: a page with a draft that holds real changes carries a chip like Draft, 4 changes, and clicking the chip opens that draft. A draft that matches the live page shows no chip.

Version history works the same way: open View all revisions and click Compare on any version to see exactly what restoring it would change before you roll back.

In Website Builder, open your site's Setup and choose Custom domain. Add the domain, then follow the DNS records it shows you. Once the DNS is verified, the site switches from simple Podspun.com hosting to the custom-domain mode.

It already is. Open a site in Website Builder, then Setup, then Podspun Exposure: Promote this website and its channels on Podspun.com is set to Yes for every site.

It is a free way to promote the website to people browsing Podspun.com. Every listing links straight to your site, so all the SEO lives on your own domain. The subjects a listing shows up under are read from your episodes by Dataweaver, so there is nothing to fill in. Set it to No to keep the site off Podspun.com.

Open Clips and Thumbs Maker and click Make a clip, or start from a suggested clip. Pick the episode, click the transcript to set the start, trim the length, choose the output (video clip, audiogram, or mp3), shape, captions, and logo, then press Make clip. Finished clips land in My Outputs, ready to download and post.

Your first 3 clips each month are free; past that they come in packs of 25.

Go to Email Campaigns and click New campaign. Build the email from templates, pick a list, and send; every campaign shows its sent, open, and click counts. Personal email sends one message to one person. Email is on for every account and free for your first 100 subscribed contacts, then $9.00/month up to 500.

Yes. In Memberships (under Income in the sidebar), each website has a What This Section Is Called field. Type the name you want (Newsletter, Dispatch, anything) and save. It changes the heading on the posts page, the crumb trail above each post, and any menu item pointing at that page, all at once, including menu items that still carry the section's old name, "Off Mic".

It only changes what readers see on that one site. Your posts stay one library across the account, and each site can use its own name.

Open the post, publish it, then go to its Config tab and click Send to members under Email This Post to Members. It goes to the members of every site the post shows on (its Where It Shows setting), and a person who joined two of your sites gets one copy. A paid post goes only to paying subscribers.

Sending is always your choice: publishing a post never emails anyone on its own. The button waits until the post is published, because the email carries the published version. Config also shows when a post was last sent and to how many people, so you never send twice by accident.

Insights. It covers traffic, campaign attribution, visitor journeys, conversions, and gross checkout revenue across your sites, plus the Narrative episode analyzer and AI content ideas, split into Traffic, Social, Narrative, Ideas, Email Digest, and Ask AI tabs. The Social tab shows how a TikTok or Instagram catalog performs: total views and likes, which topics pull views, posting rhythm, top posts, and views over time.

Open Website Builder and choose a site. Under Setup, choose Podspun.com for simple hosting without custom DNS, or Custom domain for the full website builder.

Podspun.com hosting loads and manages the standard public pages for you, so custom pages are read-only and you cannot add more. You can still write and manage News, quizzes, and shared content in the same builder. Email gathering is currently off on Podspun.com-hosted sites. Switch to Custom domain when you want to add or redesign pages.

Open Podspun Dataweaver. The Where It Appears menu on each channel shows its assigned custom website or Podspun.com page. Choose another destination from that menu to move the channel.

Each social channel has a How Posts Play setting in its editor under Podspun.com Setup, with two players.

The Podspun player (the default) plays our archived copy of the post right on the page. It starts instantly, the transcript beside it is clickable so a reader can jump to any line, and plays count in your Podspun analytics. These plays do not appear in the post's TikTok or Instagram view count, because the platforms only count plays that stream through their own players.

The TikTok / Instagram player uses the platform's own embedded player, so each real play counts toward the post's view count there. It loads slower, and the transcript sits beside it as plain text without the click-to-jump.

One thing worth weighing: a post earns nearly all of its platform views in its first days in the feed. These pages mostly help people find and read older posts through search and topics, so for a back catalog the running count barely moves either way, and the choice mostly comes down to how the page feels to use.

Every channel you add gets a page on podspun.com at its own address. A page can also gather several of your channels under one address: podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram together, episodes and posts merged and searchable in one place.

Podspun.com Setup shows your pages as cards at the top; the list below holds channels that appear nowhere on podspun.com. To merge channels, press Edit on a page and use Channels Shown On This Page: tick the channels it should gather, and name the page and pick its address (keeping the channel's own address is fine; that address then shows the merged page). A channel gathered onto a page is managed from that page, never in two places.

Go to Podspun.com Setup, open the podcast, and use Active. Active gives the podcast its own public page on podspun.com, where people can browse, play, and search its episodes; Inactive takes that page down and removes the podcast from podspun.com entirely.

While it is Active, Podspun.com Exposure sets how findable the page is: Full (promoted across Podspun and indexed by search engines), SEO Only (indexed by search engines but never featured by Podspun), or Unlisted (up for anyone with the link, but search engines skip it and Podspun does not list it anywhere; linking it on a Cross Link still shows it there).

If a feed is split into separate shows, each show is listed on its own and has its own settings, so you can, for example, index one show and hide another. Editing a show changes only that show.

To change several at once, check them in the Podspun.com Setup list and use Change a setting: it can set Active, Podspun.com Exposure, AI search, and How videos play for all of the checked items.

Go to Podspun.com Setup, open the podcast, and use How videos play. It is a YouTube-only setting with three modes. Normal play is our interactive player with the live synced transcript, but YouTube does not run ads on it. Ads play uses YouTube's standard click-to-play player so YouTube can run ads (the transcript stays searchable but no longer highlights live). Link out to YouTube sends viewers to YouTube.

Pick Ads play if ad revenue matters; pick Normal play for the richest on-site experience.

Data API in your account gives you a token-gated key to pull your episodes and transcripts as JSON for use anywhere.

Billing has your subscription, usage, and past bills. Profile is your email, password, and sign-in. Accounts is where you name this account, give other people access, and switch between accounts.

Open the channel in Podspun Dataweaver and use Filter the feed. Video type shows both, full videos only, or Shorts only (a Short is under three minutes). By title adds rules like "title must contain" or "title cannot contain".

It is a display filter: everything stays imported, the filtered episodes are just hidden from every surface, so changing your mind later brings them back instantly.

Yes. Open the channel in Podspun Dataweaver and use Split into shows. Episodes matching your rules become their own show, listed under the parent channel, with its own pages, search, and presentation settings. Useful when one feed carries several series.

Open the channel in Podspun Dataweaver and click Check now under Check for new episodes (available once every three hours). You rarely need it: Podspun also checks automatically through the day and runs a full sync nightly.

Go to Accounts. It lists every account you created or were given access to; Switch to this account moves you into it, and a banner brings you back. Add new account creates a fully separate account with its own channels, websites, people, and billing.

Go to Accounts and use Add someone to invite them by email with a role: Full Admin (everything, including billing), Tech Admin (everything except billing and team), or Content Admin (content, ideas, and reports). They sign in with their own Podspun login, and you can change or remove access anytime.

These roles are the one place you manage access. They cover every website in the account too: a Full or Tech Admin can fully edit each site, and a Content Admin can edit each site's content. There is no separate per-site access list to keep in sync.

The Welcome page has a What’s On card listing every major piece of your account with its live state: Podspun.com, Websites, the Data API, News, the Store, Donations, Email Campaigns, Payment Setup, and your Contacts count. Each row has a Configure link straight to that area’s setup, so turning something on or adjusting it is one click from the overview.

Open Imports and choose New migration. The form begins with two Social Media channel fields, and you can add more. Each accepts YouTube, Apple Podcasts, RSS, Instagram, or TikTok. You can also add one existing website. Podspun inventories every website page and article URL, but reads only a small article sample for visual previews. Channel analysis records identity and item count. Nothing is created during analysis.

On the review screen, choose a starting theme, preview the proposed site page by page, choose which records come across, change their new URLs, and decide whether each becomes a page, News item, gallery, contact page, or external link. Full approved article content and channel items are fetched only after you start the migration. The Imports page keeps the plan and its progress, with a live bar per channel while posts and media are read and copied. Until that first import finishes the site itself shows only an importing screen, on every address, and it opens automatically when the import completes.

A page on podspun.com carrying your own name and logo that ties several of your podcasts together, at its own address like podspun.com/collection/your-name, so a visitor who finds one show finds the rest. Good for networks and agencies. Set it up under the Cross Links tab in Podspun.com Setup: name it, write a short bio, pick the podcasts, and optionally add an email signup that feeds your Email contacts. Cross Links used to be called collection pages.

Yes. On the page's settings under the Cross Links tab in Podspun.com Setup, set Private to Yes. The page stays up at its direct link so you can share it, but it is left out of search engines and podspun.com listings. Useful while you set it up, for demos, client previews, and a soft launch. Set it back to No when you want it found.

When your site's YouTube social link points at your channel or a video, YouTube can greet visitors who aren't subscribed yet with a small "Subscribe?" prompt. It's on by default; turn it off with the checkbox under your YouTube link in the site's Menus, Social section. It only has an effect on channel and video links.

Open Contacts. It shows one row per person across your whole account, with every relationship they hold: newsletter subscriber, member (free or paid), store buyer, donor, sorted by their latest activity. It reads across all your sites and tools, so someone who subscribed on one site and bought from another shows up once, whole.

Manage mailing lists and imports in Email Campaigns, memberships are managed right there too (removing one signs the reader out of that site); buyers and donors join your contacts when they check Email me updates at checkout.
