For information about the available episode labels, go to the relevant section below:
Labels for Episodic podcasts

- Full (selected by default): Intended for complete episodes of the podcast.
- Bonus: Intended for extra podcast content, such as behind-the-scenes information and interviews with the cast.

Labels for Serial podcasts
For an episode from a Serial podcast, the following options are available under Episode type:
- Full (selected by default): Intended for complete episodes of the podcast.
