To upload an RSS for your podcast or other audio content, follow the instructions below:

Navigate to the Section you would like to add the Podcast RSS feed.
Click on +Content, +Feed, then +Podcast RSS.

3. Enter the following information in their respective fields:

Name (Internal facing)
Feed URL
Title (External)
Subtitle (External)
Import Content*

*Import Content Note: This allows MAZ to import content from your Podcast RSS feed to our servers.

4. In the next form you see, fill in the metadata for the content menu you are adding to your app and save the form.

Note: MAZ will pull the description from the description tag in the podcast feed that is added to the MAZ dashboard. But, MAZ will trim all the other nested HTML tags present inside the description/summary tag. So, the plain text version of the description will be passed to the app/item feed.

Testing of Podcast RSS feeds can be done using this validator.
