What shipped in Podpage in August 2026.
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.
Custom code used to be limited to Custom Pages. Now every page on your site — About, Episodes, Contact, and the rest — has its own Custom Code section in the page editor, so you can add page-specific styling or scripts without touching your whole site.
Available on Pro and above.
Custom pages can now go header-free. If you're building a landing page or something else that shouldn't carry your site's normal navigation, turn off the header for just that page from its page editor — the rest of your site is unaffected.
