Let AI draft your About page from your actual episodes#

The Assistant can now write your About page for you, grounded in your show's real summary and episode history rather than generic filler — it even links back to specific episodes it draws on. You get a draft to review and edit before anything is saved to your site.

Find it in the Assistant nav. Available on Pro and above.

Automatic episode transcripts have been retired#

Auto-Transcribe is no longer available, and episodes are no longer transcribed by Podpage.

Your episode pages can still show a full transcript. If your podcast host publishes transcripts in your feed, Podpage imports them with each episode automatically. You can also paste a transcript into any episode from Episodes → All Episodes.

A new dashboard navigation, built for phones too#

The dashboard sidebar has been redesigned. It groups related pages together, shows a checkmark next to Autopilot automations you've already turned on, and adds a proper mobile menu: a top bar with a hamburger icon that slides the full navigation in from the side.

Nothing you need to do — you'll just see it the next time you log in.

More features are now included in Pro#

Five features that used to need Elite are now part of the Pro plan:

  • Private feed support — point your site's players at your private or premium feed.
  • Downloadable files — offer bonus files your listeners can't get anywhere else.
  • Guest alerts — email your guests when the episode they're on goes live.
  • Export guest data — take your guest list into the tools you already use.
  • Zapier — connect your Podpage site to thousands of other apps.

If you're on Pro, they're already switched on for you — nothing to set up. Elite keeps everything it had. Compare plans at podpage.com/pricing.

Your podcast artwork now shows up as your site's favicon on every plan#

The small icon that shows up in browser tabs and bookmarks — your favicon — now shows your own podcast artwork on every site, including Basic.

Pro and above can still upload a dedicated favicon image under Advanced Settings → Brand & appearance.

Your site is easier for AI assistants and search tools to find#

Every Podpage site now automatically publishes an agents.json file describing your show — name, description, RSS feed, and sitemap — in the standard format AI agents look for. Search-oriented AI crawlers like ChatGPT's search bot, Perplexity, and Claude are also now welcomed by your site's robots.txt, so your episodes can surface in AI-powered search results.

This requires no setup — it's on for every site automatically.

Three new looks for your navigation bar#

Your site's nav bar can now stay pinned to the top of the page as visitors scroll, float as a centered rounded pill instead of spanning the full width, and pick up a frosted-glass look that lets your background show through.

Each is its own switch, so you can mix and match — a floating, glass, sticky nav gets the full pill effect, or use just one.

Find them under Design → Navigation Bar (Floating style and Sticky Navigation) and Design → Advanced Design → Colors (Glass surfaces).

Dashboard polish#

  • Switching between podcasts in the podcast switcher now keeps you on the same section — jump from one show's Episodes list straight to the other's.
  • Category pages now show how many episodes are in each category.

Clear a spam flag yourself, right from the list#

If Podpage flags a contact form submission or a review as spam and it isn't, you can clear it yourself in one click. A "Not Spam" button on contact messages restores the message and helps Podpage recognize similar senders correctly going forward. On the reviews list, hovering over a Spam badge now offers a one-click "Mark as not spam."

Find them on Contact Messages and Reviews.

See every page's SEO status in one place, then fix it in a click#

There's a new SEO Analysis overview that lists every episode, blog post, video and custom page together, with a pass/fail status, how many checks are unresolved, and its focus keyphrase, so you can see what needs attention across your whole site without opening each page one at a time.

From there, a new Auto-fix button hands the busywork to AI: it suggests a focus keyphrase with a short explanation of why, then generates a matching meta title and description you can accept or edit. It works on episodes, blog posts, videos, custom pages and your homepage.

Open SEO → Analysis to see the overview. Available on Elite.

Choose exactly which Facebook Page and Instagram account each podcast posts to#

Connecting Facebook or Instagram now takes you to a picker where you explicitly choose which Page or account this podcast should post to. If you manage more than one Facebook account, every page from all of them shows up in one list.

Already connected? A new "Re-authorize" link on the Facebook/Instagram settings form lets you grant access to more pages at any time, without disconnecting first.

LinkedIn posts now include your episode artwork as an image, and the Integrations page itself has a cleaner layout.

Find it all under Integrations.

More auto-transcribe credits each month, and a heads-up when you're close#

Auto-Transcribe now processes up to 8 episodes every 30 days, up from 6. If you use up your credits for the period, the settings page shows exactly when your next slot opens.

Find it under Auto-transcribe Episodes. Available on Elite.

Longer, better-formatted captions on your auto-posts#

When Podpage auto-posts a new episode to Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, the caption now uses each platform's full limit — up to 2,200 characters on Instagram and 3,000 on LinkedIn — and keeps the paragraph breaks from your show notes, so captions read just the way you wrote them.

This applies automatically to future auto-posts — no setting to turn on.

Your site now speaks directly to AI assistants#

More and more listeners find shows through ChatGPT, Claude, and similar tools instead of a search bar. Every Podpage site now publishes a small manifest file that points these assistants straight to your RSS feed, sitemap, contact info, and recent episodes — plus a transcript for any episode that has one — instead of leaving them to guess at your page's HTML.

Episode pages also now tell those tools directly where to find the transcript, so an assistant summarizing your latest episode is working from the real thing.

This runs automatically on every site — there's nothing to turn on. You can see it in action under the new llms.txt tab in your dashboard.

Network dashboards got easier to manage#

If you run a Network account with multiple shows, your show list now shows episode count, when each show last synced, and when it was added — not just the podcast name and artwork — so you can see each show's status and your newest additions at a glance.

The network navigation is also more focused: a direct Shows link sits up top, and the menu shows only the settings that apply to a network.

Connect an AI agent to your site on any plan#

Podpage lets you connect an AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others — directly to your podcast site, so it can read and, with your approval, edit your content on your behalf. That connection was previously limited to Elite. It's now available on every plan.

Look for MCP under the AI Agents section of your dashboard to get started.

Your new episodes can file themselves into categories#

Turn on Add Categories and Podpage reads each new episode the moment it imports, then places it into the categories you've already set up — the same way you'd tag it by hand, minus the work. Existing category assignments are never touched, and you can always move an episode yourself afterward.

Find it under Categories in your dashboard. Available on Elite.

Lithuanian is now a site language option#

If your listeners read Lithuanian, your Podpage site can now speak to them in it. Labels like "Show Notes," the podcast player picker, and other on-site text switch over when Lithuanian is selected as your site's language, translated and reviewed for natural, idiomatic phrasing rather than a literal machine translation.

Set it under Settings → Language.

A batch of new ways to style your homepage#

Design settings picked up a round of new controls: a parallax effect for your header banner, a drop shadow behind your hero text for readability over images, softer or bolder shadows on your episode cards, a small badge showing the episode number on cards, a color overlay with a play icon when someone hovers over an episode image, decorative styles and dividers for your section titles, and subtle entrance and scroll animations for your homepage.

Every option is off or set to a plain default unless you turn it on, so nothing changes on your site until you go looking for it. Find them in Design → Customize Site, spread across the Cards, Sections, and Animations groups.
