What is teaser and player gating?

Teaser gating lets you show episode content (description, show notes, maybe a transcript excerpt) to non-subscribers or lower tiers, while keeping the audio player hidden until they upgrade. It’s a “see what you’re missing” model — the subscriber can read about the episode but can’t listen without the right tier.

Player gating is the toggle that hides or shows the episode player based on the subscriber’s tier. You can also gate transcripts independently — show the transcript to premium subscribers, hide it from free-tier listeners, or the reverse.
