How are Episode Credits different from Feed Credits?
They’re completely separate features that solve different problems.
Feed Credits (in the Guests tab of the episode editor) add structured <podcast:person> tags to your RSS feed. Podcast apps that support Podcasting 2.0 — like Pocket Casts and Podcast Addict — use these tags to display guest and host attribution. They’re data for apps, not text for listeners.
Episode Credits are free-form text — a template you write and apply to individual episodes. The text appears in your episode notes and in podcast app show notes. They’re for your listeners, not for app metadata.
Both can be used on the same episode. A guest episode might have Feed Credits listing the guest’s name and role for Podcasting 2.0 apps, and an Episode Credits block thanking the guest and including a sponsor note for listeners.
