Organizing your podcast playlist:

Before jumping right into a playlist it's important to give your playlist some thought. Specifically, think about the structure of your playlist. We suggest organizing your playlist around a primary theme or a topic (i.e. Unsolved Murders...Cooking Recipes...Sad Stories...) as this will provide context to the listener for why you created the playlist.

Examples of how to organize your playlist:

• Story/Theme: Curate podcast episodes that tell an interesting story; or gather episodes related to the playlist theme.
  • Holiday Spirit - Discover the magic of the holidays
  • Presidential Roundup - A roundup of candidates and the various episodes that discuss their ideology and presidential plans.
• Interest/Hobby/Activity: Curate episodes around a hobby, activity, or interest.
