What each episode status means.
Each Episode in an AI Podcasts episode list has a status badge. Hover over it for a date or detail.

Failed

Draft
A new or duplicated Episode that is not live. While a draft renders for publication, the badge reads Publishing.
Scheduled
The Episode publishes automatically at the scheduled time. The three-dot menu has Edit Schedule (reschedule, or Publish Now) and Cancel Schedule. See Scheduling episodes.
Published
The Episode is live in your RSS feed, on your podcast website and on connected directories. To change a live Episode without unpublishing it, see Publish an episode.
