A podcast show notes generator that produces the full page, not just a paragraph. Enter your episode outline, timestamps and guest details, and get structured notes with chapter markers, linked resources and a summary — formatted so they paste cleanly into Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your own site, each of which handles markup differently.

How to use it
Four steps to a result
Add the episode basics
Title, number, guest and publication date. The episode title is what people scan in a feed, so make it specific rather than clever.
Enter your timestamps
List the topic changes with their times. Timestamps are the single most-used part of show notes and are what turn a long episode into something skimmable.
Add links and guest details
Every book, tool, article and person mentioned. Listeners come back to show notes specifically to find the thing they could not write down while driving.
Export for your host
Copy the version formatted for your platform. Apple Podcasts allows limited HTML, Spotify strips most of it, and your own site takes the full version.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
A summary of what the episode covers, timestamped chapter markers, links to everything mentioned, guest names with their bios and links, and a call to action. Timestamps and links are what listeners actually return for; the summary is what search engines and new listeners read first.
Long enough to be genuinely useful. A summary paragraph, full timestamps and a complete link list is the practical minimum. Longer notes with a rough transcript help search visibility, since a podcast audio file is otherwise invisible to search engines.
They improve retention and completion more than discovery, and both are ranking signals inside podcast apps. Apple Podcasts and Spotify both support chapter markers, which turn your timestamps into a navigable interface rather than plain text people have to scrub for.
Apple Podcasts accepts a limited set — paragraphs, line breaks, ordered and unordered lists and links. Spotify strips most formatting and renders close to plain text. Because there is no shared standard, exporting a plain-text version alongside the HTML one saves a lot of reformatting.
Where you can afford it, yes. A transcript makes the episode accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners, gives search engines text to index for an otherwise opaque audio file, and lets people find a quote without scrubbing through an hour of audio.
