# How do I start my own podcast show?

Create a show and add episodes in the Podcast Studio.

You make shows and episodes in the **Podcast Studio** . Go to [Podcast Studio](/podcasts/studio) , or press **Create show** on the Podcasts page.

In most communities any member can create a show. If you are not allowed, the studio tells you.

## Creating a show

1. Under Create show, enter a Show title.
2. Choose a Category and add Show artwork if you have it.
3. Choose the Visibility. Public means anyone can listen. Some communities also offer Members and Private.
4. Add a Summary and Description.
5. Press Create show.

## Adding an episode

1. Under Add episode, choose the Show.
2. Enter an Episode title.
3. Upload your recording under Hosted audio file, or paste a web address in Audio URL.
4. Add a Summary, and a Transcript if you can. A transcript helps people who cannot hear the audio.
5. To release it later, use Schedule publication.
6. Press Add episode.

Only upload audio you have the right to share, and get permission from anyone you record.

## Managing your shows

Your shows appear under **My shows** . Here you can edit, publish, archive or delete shows and episodes. In some communities a moderator checks new shows and episodes first. These show **Pending review** until approved.

**Listener stats** shows how many people listened to your episodes.
