Permalinks
Podcaster assigns permalinks to your episode posts, which means that they each produce an individual episode page with a unique URL.
For episodes without season numbers, the permalink for the page will be /{episodeNumber}/. For episodes with season numbers, the permalink will be /s{seasonNumber}/e{episodeNumber}/.

Customising permalinks
However, if you prefer something else, you can customise the permalink structure by supplying podcast.episodePermalinkPattern in your podcast.json file.
Here are some example patterns for a hypothetical Season 2, Episode 1 called Daleks Daleks.
| permalink pattern | example |
|---|---|
/episode/{episodeNumber}/ |
/episode/1/ |
/podcast/{episodeNumber}/ |
/podcast/1/ |
/season/{seasonNumber}/episode/{episodeNumber}/ |
/season/2/episode/1/ |
/{episodeNumber}-{titleSlug}/ |
/1-daleks-daleks/ |
And here’s the list of placeholders you can use in your permalink patterns:
| placeholder | description |
|---|---|
{episodeNumber} |
The episode number |
{seasonNumber} |
The season number |
{titleSlug} |
The title of the episode post, slugified |
