Appearance
Your Podcast Overview
The Overview is the first screen you see for a show. It is built to answer one question fast: what needs me right now? Everything on it is either something waiting on you, something already moving, or a link into the queue that owns it.
Go to Overview in the sidebar, or click your show's name anywhere in the app.
Needs you
The queue at the top left lists the things holding up a release, ranked so the most blocking sits first. A booking request that expires beats a draft with no date.
Rows you may see:
| Row | What it means |
|---|---|
| Booking requests waiting on you | Guests have picked a slot and need your yes or no |
| An episode is blocked from publishing | A scheduled episode is missing something its feed needs |
| Directory submission is blocked | Your feed fails a check Apple or Spotify would reject it for |
| Transcription failed | An AI transcription job did not finish |
| Episodes are still unconfirmed | A booking created the episode and nobody confirmed the session |
| An automation failed | A rule ran and errored, so its emails never went out |
| You were mentioned in episode chat | Someone used your name in a message |
| Unread messages in episode chat | New messages since you last opened that episode's chat |
| A guest hasn't responded | They were invited days ago and have never opened their prep portal |
| Episodes have no recording booked | Drafts with no booking attached |
| AI credits are nearly used | You are at or above 80% of this month's allowance |
Booking requests can be accepted or declined without leaving the page. Every other row links to the screen that owns the fix.
The queue shows the top three. If there are more, View all expands the rest.
An empty queue is not an empty box
When nothing needs you the card changes shape: it becomes a confirmation that you are on top of it, followed by Coming up next with your next recording and your next scheduled publish.
Production pipeline
Five stages tracking work from booked to published:
Booked → To edit → Processing → Scheduled → Published
- Booked: upcoming recording sessions
- To edit: drafts waiting for you
- Processing: episodes with audio conversion or transcription still running
- Scheduled: episodes queued to publish automatically
- Published: episodes live in your feed
Every figure is a link into that queue, including the zeros. A zero is a real answer to "what is booked?".
Co-hosts see the pipeline as read-only context. Moving episodes between stages is an owner and admin job.
Next recording
Your soonest session, with everything that has to be ready before it:
- Prep document: how many of the guest's prep questions they have answered
- AI research brief: whether the brief has been generated, and a link to read it
- Join link: copy the meeting link for the platform this booking uses
If nothing is booked, this slot carries your booking link instead, ready to copy and share.
Downloads
Your last 30 days, read against the 30 days before them. The solid line is the current window, the dashed line behind it is the comparison, and both are drawn on the same scale so a flat month and a record month do not look alike.
Below the chart, your strongest recent episode: an episode that went live inside the window, what it has earned since, and what share of the show's 30-day total that is.
Downloads are visible to the show's Host. Producers and Co-hosts see the rest of the Overview without it.
Externally hosted shows do not have this card. Your host serves the audio, so the figures live in their dashboard. In its place you get Episode links, which reports how many of your episodes we have matched to their item in your host's feed.
Where the detail lives
Episode-level figures, listening apps and geography are all in Analytics.
What changed
The same events as your notification bell, narrowed to this show and grouped by day. Unread rows carry a dot. Mark all read clears this show only, never your whole inbox.
What you see depends on your role and your show
The Overview adapts rather than showing you empty boxes:
- A brand-new show replaces the pipeline with a setup checklist. Seven steps, each one unlocking part of the product, with a button on the next one only.
- A show with published episodes but no directory submissions gains a prompt to start distributing.
- A co-host sees their own episodes, their mentions and their prep. Bookings, publishing, billing and performance stay with the host.
- An externally hosted show swaps downloads for episode links and says plainly who does measure.
- A suspended feed puts a banner above everything explaining what has stopped and how to restore it. It cannot be dismissed.
- A guest with no show of their own gets their own version at the same address: their episodes, what is expected of them, and when they record.
On a phone
The two columns become one stack in the same order of urgency: what needs you, the pipeline, your next recording, downloads, then what changed. A Jump to section button sits under your show's name and opens a picker for any section on the page.
