When your episode library grows, a single long list gets overwhelming. Categories group your episodes by topic so listeners can quickly find the content they care about.
How categories work
- Starter list from your feed: Podpage pulls an initial category list from your podcast feed, and you can edit it to match your show's themes.
- A page for every category: Each category automatically gets its own page listing all the episodes in it.
- Sidebar navigation: Categories appear in your website's sidebar so visitors can jump straight to a topic.
- Related episodes: Podpage uses categories to recommend similar episodes on each episode page, keeping listeners exploring your content.
How to manage your categories
- In your dashboard, go to Episodes → Categories.
- Add, rename, or delete categories to fit your show's topics.
How to assign an episode to categories
- Go to Episodes → All Episodes and open the episode.
- In the Categories section, select the categories the episode fits in.
- Click Save.
Tip: Have a big back catalog? The Assistant → Categorize Backlog tool can help you assign categories to older episodes quickly.
