Everything new in Podpage, newest first. Every entry is live for customers today.
Dutch (Nederlands) is now available as a website language on every plan. Navigation, buttons, forms, reviews, and cookie preferences display in Dutch when you select it.
Choose Dutch under Settings → Language. Your episode titles, descriptions, and other content stay as you wrote them.
Settings → Change History lists every change made to your website: who made it, what changed, and when. You can see the old and new value for each setting, colour swatches for colour changes, and the exact lines added or removed when someone edits your custom CSS or page content. Changes made by your team, by Podpage support, and by an AI agent you've connected to Podpage all appear, each labelled.
Changed a setting by mistake? Click Undo next to the change to put the old value back. If that setting has been edited again since, Podpage leaves the newer value alone and tells you which ones it kept.
Change History keeps a year of changes, starting today, and is on every plan.
When a listener taps Play Episode on your homepage or at the top of an episode page, the episode now starts playing in the Podpage audio player as soon as the page opens, with the player scrolled into view.
This works whenever your site uses Podpage's audio player. Turn it on under Episode Settings → Use Podpage's Audio Player. Some browsers only allow sound to start after a tap on the page itself; there, the player is ready and in view, one tap from playing.
This one came out of October's Elite Roadmap Council meeting. Thanks to the Elite members who asked for it.
When a guest registers through your guest form, Podpage records their agreement to your Podcast Guest Agreement and Release. You can now download a signed copy of each guest's release, with their name, the date and time they agreed, and the release they agreed to.
Open Guests, pick a guest, and click Download signed release. Use the Signed Release filter on your guest list to see who has signed, and your guest CSV export now includes when each guest signed.
Your guests get a link to their own signed copy in the confirmation email they receive after registering. Available on Pro and above.
We've made a round of behind-the-scenes improvements to how quickly Podpage sites load, and every site benefits automatically.
A typical page now loads about twice as fast, and the slowest page loads are around six times faster. Listeners get to your episodes sooner, and faster pages also help your site in search results.
There's nothing to turn on: these improvements are live on every plan.
Social buttons, share buttons and dashboard settings now use the X logo and name. Your existing links carry over — nothing to update.
Scheduling a blog post, video, or episode for the future is easier to read at a glance. The new calendar picker shows the date and time together in plain language, with the time always visible and a clear Done button to confirm your choice.
It's available everywhere you set a publish date — blog posts, videos, and episodes — and works the same in both light and dark mode.
Your guest list can now spotlight the guests you want new visitors to see first. Open Guests in your dashboard and switch to the new Featured tab to mark guests as featured and drag them into the order you want.
Featured guests appear in their own section at the top of your public guest page, ahead of the full list. Newly featured guests are automatically placed at the top of that order, so your latest highlight is always the first thing visitors see.
You can now click View on Website for a blog post that's still in draft and actually see it, styled and laid out exactly as it will look once published.
This only works for you and your team while signed in; visitors and search engines still can't see a post until you publish it. It's a quick way to proofread and check formatting before it goes live.
A handful of smaller improvements this month:
Everything in your Podpage is now just a few keystrokes away. A new search sits at the top of your dashboard navigation — open it and start typing to find episodes, videos, guests, pages, features, and settings from one place.
Search takes you straight to the screen or editor you need instead of clicking through menus. On desktop, press Cmd/Ctrl + K to open it from anywhere in your dashboard.
When you notify a guest that their episode is live, the email now includes a link to any blog post you've written about that episode, alongside the episode and podcast player links. It's an easy extra way for guests to see and share the full writeup, not just the audio.
If you use Podpage's automatic blog post writer, you can now teach it how you want your posts written. Open your assistant settings and add custom instructions — style notes, topics to avoid, formatting preferences, or facts it should always get right — and every post it generates from your episodes will follow them.
Your instructions are saved with your podcast, so you only need to set them once.
You can now add a second step to your Podpage login. Open the account menu in your dashboard and choose Two-Factor Authentication, then scan the code with an authenticator app like Google Authenticator, 1Password or Authy.
Once it's on, you'll enter a six-digit code from the app when you log in. Save the recovery codes Podpage gives you — each one gets you in once if you ever lose your phone. It's optional, and nothing changes until you turn it on.
A round of polish to how you get around the dashboard:
Small changes, but they add up if you're in the dashboard every day.
The listening-platform buttons on your site now behave the same way wherever they show up — home page, episode pages, the sidebar, mobile. Your featured platforms lead, and everything else lives in a new All Players menu instead of crowding the page, so the layout stays clean no matter how many platforms you list.
Visitors browsing an episode category page can now press play right there, without clicking into each episode first.
If you organize your blog posts into categories, readers can now browse by them: categories show up in your site's navigation dropdown and above your blog list, and each category page is included in your sitemap so search engines can find it.
The email your listeners get when you publish a new episode has a fresh design: a clear headline, your show's own colors and fonts, a prominent button to the episode page, and your top two listening platforms called out up front. It looks great in dark mode too.
Nothing to turn on — every episode alert now goes out with the new look.
While we were in there, we also cleaned up notifications: the separate toggles for episode and review emails are now one Email notifications switch under Notifications, covering new episodes, reviews, voicemails, contact form messages, survey responses and guest registrations. If you'd already turned notifications off, that choice carried over — nothing changes for you.
Aurora, Casefile, Editorial, Gameday, Lounge, Neon, Retro, Swiss and Workbench are live on every plan. Each was designed for podcast sites, from bold and image-led to clean and text-first, and each carries your own colors, fonts and episode art rather than a fixed look.
Open Design → Change Site Template to preview your own episodes in each one before you switch. Switching back is one click.
