Podcast People allows users to create and assign profiles for individuals involved in podcasts and podcast episodes. These profiles can include the individual's name, their role in the podcast, and a link to their personal website or social media handle. This provides listeners with direct information about the speakers and contributors in each episode. This article will guide you in adding new People to your podcast or episode.
