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.
Episode Planning
Plan your episodes, connect research links from across the web, add private production notes, link guests to episodes and print or email your episode plans to your team, guests, and more.
Then, convert your planned episodes to live episodes with one click - goodbye copy and paste!
Plus... Captivate will build your show notes for you automatically from your plan!
