When someone lands on your website for the first time, a long list of episodes can be hard to know where to start. The featured episodes section puts a handful of your best episodes right on your home page, under a heading like "New to [Your Podcast]?", so new listeners can jump straight into your strongest work.
Available on the Pro plan and above.
Choose which episodes to feature
- In your dashboard, go to Episodes → All Episodes.
- Find an episode you want to highlight and switch on Feature on Homepage under it.
- Repeat for each episode you want to show. We recommend three or four.
- Click the Featured tab at the top of the list to see everything you've featured. The most recently featured episode appears first, and you can drag episodes on this tab to change their order.
The section appears on your home page as soon as at least one episode is featured.
Change how the section looks
- Open the Home Page editor (go to Pages → Home and click Edit Page).
- Open the Featured Episodes section.
- Pick a Featured Episode Layout, such as Card Grid, Image Grid, Carousel or Feature First.
- Optionally change the Title for Featured Episode Section (it's "New to [Your Podcast]?" by default) and add a Description for Featured Episode Section. If you use a grid layout, you can also set how many episodes show side by side on large screens.
To remove the section, just switch off Feature on Homepage for every featured episode.
Tip: Pick episodes that work without any background — a great interview or a standalone story makes a better first impression than part two of a series.
