August was another busy month for the developers at UnleashedPodcasts. We started work on our API and CLI tool to make it easier to script your workflow, and we created a Shorts module to make tracking your short creation a little easier.
Stay On Top of Your Feed
Our Podcast Checker is a great tool for checking the health of your podcast feed, but it required you to manually check the results. We added support to routinely check the feed and report the results back to you. It's free for a basic weekly check, and if you sign up, we'll match your release cadence and alert you to problems as your feed is updated.
Reputation
Two tweaks this month to bolster your reputation online.
Public profiles
We want UnleashedPodcasts to be a landing space for your creative work. As part of that, we've launched Public Profiles (here's mine), which allows you to show off all the good work that you've done.
It also gives you a place to "show off" to your next guests and gives guests a reason to share the episode (they get a page too).
There are still some tweaks that need to be made, and we would love to have your feedback on it.
Shareable Badges
We love our badge system that lets you earn badges for performing "necessary" work and want you to be able to shout it from the rooftops. We added a publicly accessible page so you can show off your "Trophy Case" and share the badges to your social media feeds so everyone can see your accomplishments.
Short-form videos
One of the cornerstones of modern podcast promotion is short-form videos on YouTube, TikTok, etc., but our existing "Episode" concept is too "heavy" to track the volume of short-form videos that's required to do so. We created a module that lets you create short ideas as well as upload the finished product into our central Storage so you don't need to worry about keeping track of them. They can be associated with an existing Episode so you can keep them linked together, and they show up on your Content Calendar for planning purposes (plus they earn badges).
As a tip, you should schedule a short off every Episode so the calendar shows the full promotional trail and not just the drop date.

What This Means for Your Podcast
As always, none of these things are about you doing more they're about us removing friction from your workflow so a busy week doesn't break your streak. Give them a try and let us know what's working and what still needs some tweaks.
