Apple Podcasts offers an integrated user experience
with a single show page for everyone,
subscribers and free listeners.
Follow along to learn how to create ad-free and early-access episodes
so all your listeners get the best experience.
To create an ad-free episode,
choose the Episodes tab.
Then choose Add Episode.
If you haven't already signed up for the Apple Podcasters Program,
you'll need to do that before you create an episode.
Next, start by giving the episode a title.
Just like shows,
we have a form to provide episode information,
such as the episode description,
episode type, episode number, and more.
For ad-free and early-access episodes,
you'll need to upload and publish your subscriber audio
in Apple Podcasts Connect first,
or partner with your hosting provider
if they provide Apple Podcasts subscription support.
Now let's add subscriber audio.
First, decide if the audio should be available immediately,
until a specific date,
at a later date and time,
or between two dates.
Then choose if you want to make this audio available
to subscribers only,
limit the availability to subscribers during a specific time frame,
or make it available to anyone on Apple Podcasts.
Finally, upload your premium audio file.
This can be a WAV, FLAC, or MP3 file of the episode.
Now the episode is ready to upload.
Once you're ready, click Publish.
