Pre-fill your podcast show notes with templates

Most podcasters have a consistent format for their episode show notes; whether it's links to social media, calls to action, or recurring segments. But copying that format from your last episode every single time gets tedious fast.

Now you can create a template that automatically fills in your show notes text whenever you create a new episode.

How it works

Setting up your template takes just a minute:

1. Navigate to Settings → Show Notes in your Transistor dashboard

2. Add your template – Include any recurring text, links, or formatting you use in every episode

3. Create new episodes – Your template automatically appears in the show notes field, ready for you to fill in episode-specific details

What to include in your template

Your template can include anything you typically add to every episode:

• Episode summary placeholder

• Social media links and calls to action

• Standard segments or chapters

• Contact information

• Sponsor messages

• Links to your website or newsletter

Dynamic variables like your YouTube video URL will still pull in automatically when you add them.

A simple time-saver

This is a straightforward feature that solves a common pain point. No more hunting through old episodes to copy your format, no more accidentally forgetting to include important links. Just open a new episode and start filling in the details that matter.
