At PodToo, we’re dedicated to staying at the forefront of podcast innovation. That's why we fully support Podcast 2.0 tags, designed to bring your podcasting experience to the next level with enhanced functionality, accessibility, and discoverability. Let’s dive into the tags we support and how they can boost your podcast’s reach.

1. Location

Tag your podcast with specific locations to make it more relevant to listeners in certain regions. This is particularly useful for travel, local news, or event-driven podcasts. The location tag helps listeners discover geographically-relevant content easily.

2. TXT

If you ever encounter a site or service that asks you to verify ownership of your podcast with a short code, simply log in to your PodToo dashboard, navigate to the show you need to edit, click "Edit Show," and under the "Advanced" tab, you’ll find the verification section where you can add the verification code.

3. Person

This tag lets you attribute key roles such as hosts, guests, and producers to your podcast. Use the person tag to give credit where it’s due and help listeners find more episodes featuring their favorite contributors.

4. Banner

A strong visual identity is key to brand recognition. Use the banner tag to add a large image to your podcast page or episode listings, catching the eye of potential listeners right away.

5. Images

At PodToo, we make it easy for you to add visuals to your podcast without the need for manual resizing or additional configuration. When you upload an image, our platform automatically resizes it into different aspect ratios and adds it at the channel level. This ensures that your podcast looks great across all devices without you needing to lift a finger.

6. Category

Use the category tag to organize your podcast into genres or themes, making it easier for listeners to find content that interests them. Proper categorization improves visibility across podcast platforms.

7. Transcription

Accessibility is a priority in Podcast 2.0, and with the transcription tag, you can provide a full text version of your episodes. This improves search engine optimization and offers a way for hearing-impaired listeners to engage with your content.

8. Locked

By default, we lock your podcast to PodToo. This prevents other podcast hosting providers that recognize the locked tag from allowing your podcast to be imported into their hosting platforms. If you need this lock removed, you can contact our support team for assistance.

9. Alternate Enclosure

Are you making a video podcast? At PodToo we also convert these to audio podcasts automatically for you and we list the alternate audio as an alternate enclosure. We also generate you an audio-only RSS feed for services like Spotify.

10. Update Frequency

At PodToo, keeping your fans up to date with your latest episode is easy. When you create a new podcast in your dashboard, you will be asked if this is a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly show.

11. Social Interact

Social Interact is a new way for fans to interact with your show. This feature in PodToo backs onto our PodToo Social platform, which is powered by Activity Pub.

By integrating these Podcast 2.0 tags, you’re not only keeping up with the latest innovations in the podcasting world but also ensuring that your show is accessible, discoverable, and rich with metadata. At PodToo, we’re committed to helping you unlock the full potential of your content.
