What It Is

The owned website page that acts as the canonical home for an episode, webinar, livestream replay, or virtual event session.

• Episode/session title.
• Summary.
• Key takeaways.
• Timestamped transcript.
• Chapters.
• Guest bio and links.
• Related resources.
• Clear CTA.

Quality Bar

The page should be useful even if the visitor never presses play.

When Not To Use

Do not create thin episode pages that only embed a player and duplicate an RSS blurb.
