Podcasts FAQs

How do I rerun an episode?
In the initial release, rerunning an episode will mean reuploading the necessary content to Nexus and publishing as if it's a fresh episode. In the future, we aim to reduce this duplicative work with a Rerun Presentation. Reach out to #nexus-community on Slack if you have questions.
How do I publish a Feed Drop
In the initial release, publishing a feed drop will mean publishing your episode as normal, but with the added step of configuring the Feed Drop flag. This will send a notification to PodOps. If you need to publish with a different midroll ad configuration, they can help deliver and publish the asset with the right configuration.
How do I publish a bonus episode
Two types of Bonus episodes:
- Immediately available to all users
- If you need an additional Megaphone draft to publish this extra episode, reach out to PodOps for support.
- On creation of the episode card, you will want to target your content to the "Bonus" Media Experience rather than the usual "Full" Media Experience
- Otherwise, publish as normal
- Only available to subscribers
- If you need an additional Megaphone draft to publish this extra episode, reach out to PodOps for support.
- On creation of the episode card, you will want to target your content to the "Bonus Plus Only" Media Experience rather than the usual "Full" Media Experience

Where are my bonus drafts?
Bonus drafts are no longer needed. "Bonus" content can be created ad-hoc. Reach out to [TODO need slack channel confirmation] for support in creating an ad hoc draft
How do I tag the midroll ads in my episode?
Once you have audio uploaded to the Media Experience and it has finished processing (the state will say "Media Ready"), you can open the mid roll tagger and see the audio asset inside. From there, you can: - Manually add ad breaks with specific break times if you know them - Playback, review and set specific break times with the play head
