How do I publish bonus episodes?

Publish bonus episodes for subscribers by enabling subscriptions and uploading subscriber-only content, with an optional preview for free listeners.

If you are on the Pro or Plus plan, you can launch a paid subscription for your podcast and offer bonus episodes and other benefits to paid subscribers.

How do bonus episodes work?

Bonus episodes are subscriber-only episodes published to your main feed.

A preview is available in all podcast apps, while subscribers can listen in full on Fountain. Listeners without a subscription can also unlock the full episode by purchasing it.

Set up your subscription

Go to Settings > Subscription, enable subscriptions, and complete the required fields:

  • Subscription title
  • Offer message
  • Monthly subscription price
  • Subscriber benefits
  • Thank you message

When you save your changes, the subscription will be available on your show page.

Publish a bonus episode

To publish a bonus episode:

  • Under Episode type, choose Bonus episode
  • Upload the subscriber-only audio or video
  • Upload preview audio or video for non-subscribers
  • Set your Purchase price for non-subscribers
