Studio & your team

The Studio at podhood.com/studio/<slug> is where operators run the Channel. Your audience never sees it — it stays on podhood.com and PodHood-branded even if your Library is white-labeled.

A header switch — [Studio | Library] — jumps between the two surfaces, so you can always check what visitors actually see.

Invite your team

Under Settings → Members you can invite collaborators by email, picking the role they'll get. Roles are simple:

• Owner — the person who connected the Channel. Exactly one per Channel.
• Admin — can manage settings and the team: invite people, change roles, remove members.
• Member — works in the Studio; can't manage members or change the Library URL.

Invited people join with the chosen role after signing in with the invited email. Owners and Admins can change anyone's role or remove teammates (except the Owner), and anyone can leave a Channel from their own row — handy when someone joins as an Admin just to help set things up. The Owner can't be demoted, removed, or leave: a Channel always keeps its Owner. Team members are your working crew — completely separate from Subscribers, who belong to the audience and never get Studio access.

One account can also own several Channels — a network or agency runs each show as its own Channel, each with its own team, address, and settings.

Curate the knowledge graph

Indexing extracts the people, companies, products, and topics your show discusses. They power the Library's filters and hub pages — and they're yours to tidy under Settings → People / Companies / Products / Topics. People, companies, and products are curated row by row:

• Rename an entity that came out of transcription slightly wrong.
• Merge duplicates ("OpenAI" and "Open AI") into one.
• Archive noise you don't want in the Library.
• Give recurring guests a proper avatar, and mark your hosts so they're labeled as such.

Topics work differently: they form a curated tree rather than a flat tag list, and there's no row-by-row editing — if the structure has drifted, one control regenerates the whole tree from your catalog.

Channel-level settings

Two settings in Settings → General are worth knowing early:

• Library URL — your slug. Changing it breaks old links (no redirects), so settle it before you promote the address.
• Podcast language — the default for transcript translation and the language your public Library displays in. Visitors don't pick a language; the Channel does.
