The commute's favorite hour.

The only show where I rewind to take notes instead of skipping.

Before you host

The questions every podcaster asks.

Does this host my audio, or just link to it?

It links. PodReel is your show's home page — it points at the platforms and RSS feed you already publish to (Apple, Spotify, your host). Keep your audio wherever it lives; this makes it findable and worth subscribing to.

Can I embed my player instead of listing episodes by hand?

Yes. The episode list is config, so you can type in your latest few, or drop your host's embed (Transistor, Buzzsprout, Spotify) straight into the episode slot. Most shows do both — a curated top three plus the full archive.

Do I need the membership screen to sell anything?

No. The Longwave+ support screen is a starting point, not a payment processor — wire it to your Patreon, Memberful, or a Lemon Squeezy link. Delete it entirely if your show is ad-supported or free.

Will episodes and transcripts actually get found?

Each episode gets its own detail page with the guest, chapters, and a transcript slot — real pages search engines can index, not a single feed URL. That's the difference between a show page and a link tree.

Never miss an episode.
