A podcast series page can list two or more podcast episodes, grouped in a series/show with a common theme.
When delivering a podcast, think of your users. How do users usually listen to podcasts? Via an app, on their phone. In this recently-published infographic, consider that users listen to podcasts almost equally on iOS vs. Google products. Therefore, your podcast series should exist both on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts. Additionally, as an option, Stitcher has been gaining traction.
Follow accessibility documentation on Podcasts.
A podcast series page should:
- Promote the branding of the series, if applicable. If you have album art that has been custom-created for your podcast series, use it in the hero image! It will reinforce the strength of the WTW brand.
- Provide an overview of the series – consider the following:
- Why should the user care?
- What’s the series about?
- What episodes are a part of the series?
- Provide detail on each episode within the series – what makes this episode unique?
- Provide ways for the user to consume your podcast – very few people will listen directly on our web page via mobile phone. They will most likely only listen to the podcast on the page itself if they are viewing the page from a desktop. If they do navigate to this page via desktop, they can download it (for future listening).
Standard Components for a Podcast Series Page:
- Introduce the series w/ body text component
- Provide anchor links to the different episodes with the body text component
- Prove the ability for someone to subscribe to the series directly via the Podcast Series CTA module
- Provide sections about each episode (see suggested construction options below)
- Provide the ability for someone to listen directly to the episode on an app that we support via the Podcast Episode CTA module
Optional Components:
- Hero image – use the podcast series image in 16:10 format. If unavailable, do not use a hero image.
- Related modules (in any right or left column or at bottom of page) – depends on the content you may have. Do not overload the page with related content.
- People/Authors/Bios – to pique interest in podcast speaker(s); use the HTML snippet (instead of the Sitecore component)
