From the Episodes tab of your Ausha interface, click on + Add episode to start creating it.

​🎧 Upload an audio file. We recommend uploading an audio file in .MP3 format.

🙌 Choose a title. Create a short, impactful title that will make your listeners want to listen to the episode (with relevant keywords for your audience, the name of your guest, etc.).

​

✍️ Add a description. The description of each of your episodes is a powerful tool to increase the discoverability and visibility of your show!

You can select a different visual for each episode (💡 also called the cover or the thumbnail). If not, rest assured, the general visual you provided when creating the show will be automatically added as the episode's visual.
