Podcast Maker Workflow Guide
This guide walks through the complete Podcast Maker lifecycle from project creation to final render delivery.
1) Create a New Episode Project
!!! note "Annotated view: Create modal" Alt text: Create modal showing fields for podcast title, target audience, tone, and language selection.
What to validate before continuing
- Working title and episode angle are clear.
- Persona is selected (Host, Analyst, Interviewer, etc.).
- Output profile (audio-only vs video podcast) matches channel needs.
2) Review the Analysis Panel
!!! note "Annotated view: Analysis panel" Alt text: Analysis panel with audience-fit score, speaking pace metrics, and citation confidence indicators.
Use this panel to align creative intent with production constraints:
- Audience fit and intent match
- Style and voice consistency
- Citation confidence and source quality
3) Select Research Queries
!!! note "Annotated view: Research query selection" Alt text: Research query selection interface with approved query chips and source locking controls.
Recommended sequence:
- Approve high-signal queries.
- Exclude broad/ambiguous prompts.
- Lock trusted domains before script generation.
4) Edit and Approve the Script
!!! note "Annotated view: Script editor" Alt text: Script editor with host dialogue blocks, scene transitions, and approval status in sidebar.
In editor review, confirm:
- Segment timing is balanced.
- Host transitions sound conversational.
- Fact-heavy sections include source context.
5) Monitor Render Queue
!!! note "Annotated view: Render queue" Alt text: Render queue showing in-progress, completed, and failed render jobs with retry actions.
Queue best practices:
- Prioritize short drafts for rapid QA.
- Retry failures after checking asset integrity.
- Archive superseded versions to reduce noise.
6) Manage Project & Episode History
!!! note "Annotated view: Project list and episode history" Alt text: Project list and episode history view with version labels, publish status, and destination channels.
Use episode history to track:
- Revision progression
- Performance-linked updates
- Publishing destination consistency
