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.
