Use this section to create and configure the podcasts that Podigee hosts. Each podcast has its own web address, RSS feeds, website, contributors, and settings. Episodes, audio processing, and Content Hub belong to [Episode production](/documentation/create-and-publish/production.md). Directory submissions, the web player, and listener access belong to [Publishing and distribution](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution.md). ## Start with a new podcast * [Create a podcast](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/create-a-podcast.md): the guided four-step wizard for your first podcast. * [Edit podcast information](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/edit-podcast-information.md): title, description, web address, categories, locations, and alias. * [Upload the podcast cover image](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/upload-podcast-cover-art.md): the file rules for the cover image. * [Add donation links](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/add-donation-links.md): support links in the feed and the player. * [Publish or unpublish a podcast](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/publish-or-unpublish-a-podcast.md): make the feeds and the website public, or take them offline again. ## Feeds * [Manage podcast feeds](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/manage-podcast-feeds.md): feed addresses, feed size, podcast recommendations, and the import lock. * [Create custom feeds](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/create-custom-feeds.md): additional feeds with their own episode selection. ## Website * [Set up the podcast website](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/set-up-the-podcast-website.md): theme, colors, branding, sections, comments, tracking code, and external website mode. * [Customize website themes](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/customize-website-themes.md): the theme editor for your own HTML and CSS themes. ## People and networks * [Add contributors](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/add-contributors.md): the people who take part in the podcast. * [Group podcasts in a network](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/group-podcasts-in-a-network.md): one network with its own feed and website for several podcasts. ## Move, copy, and remove * [Import a podcast from another host](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/import-a-podcast-from-another-host.md): bring an existing podcast to Podigee. * [Clone or redirect a podcast](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/clone-or-redirect-a-podcast.md): copy a podcast, or move it to another host with redirects. * [Delete a podcast](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/delete-a-podcast.md): permanently remove a podcast and all its episodes. ## Who can do what * The account that owns the podcast can use every task in this section. * An organization member with the permission to edit podcast information can edit the podcast information, cover image, feeds, and website. * Only the owner, or an organization owner or admin, can redirect, clone, or delete a podcast, change the import lock, or disable the default feeds.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
