Research Links Browser Extension
Using Captivate’s Research Links feature, you can easily collate links and add them to your episode plans or directly to your show notes.
Deep research equals high-quality episodes. Now you can achieve that quality in a fraction of the time, and link all relevant episode links to guests, episodes, and planned productions.
Download Captivate’s Podcast Research Tool extension for Chrome and save any link to your podcast research!
Research links
It’s always great to be able to link out to sites and resources that are mentioned in that episode.
Not only does this make it easy for the listener to read about the topics discussed, but it helps your show notes stand out and act as a deep-dive resource. Add Research Links at any stage of your workflow.
Dynamic Show Notes Builder
Save hours per week with Captivate's Dynamic Show Notes Builder, making creating discoverable and useful show notes so much more efficient.
By pulling in data from across your podcast dashboard (such as episode plans, guest details, research links, marketing, and sponsor links), Captivate will automatically construct useful show notes and publish them to your podcast episodes.
Time Saving Integrations
From email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp to podcast transcription services like Descript to online recording platforms like Squadcast, our easy-to-set-up partner integrations will extend your podcasting capabilities and optimize your workflow.
