5. Content Rating
This dropdown will allow you to select your standard content rating for your podcast. This helps us ensure we're labeling the content appropriately when publishing.
Explicit content is defined as episodes containing profanity or content that may not be suitable for children
Streamlined Podcasts will not produce any of the following types of content:
Hate speech, credible threats, or content containing direct attacks on an individual or group.
6. Episode Type
This drop-down will allow you to select the standard type of episodes that you release. The options are Interview Episodes, Solo Episodes, and a Mix of Both.
7. Delivery Schedule
This drop-down allows you to select your standard delivery schedule. After you make a selection, when uploading episodes your delivery date will automatically be set accordingly.
You'll be presented with these options:
48 Hours from Upload Date
This is our earliest standard turn time. This option should primarily be used in cases where Streamlined Podcasts is not publishing the episodes to the final destination. If you haven't enabled Auto Publishing yet, this will be your only option.
48 Hours from Go-Live Date
If you've enabled Auto Publishing, then your default turn-time will be this selection. This will set your delivery date to 48 hours before your go-live date. This will give you time to ensure you provide any feedback before your episode is live!
Custom Turn Times
If you have a process in place that requires you to have your podcasts back from production 3 days before go-live or even 11 days, simply select this option and input the number of days you'd like to receive it before Go-Live.

You can use these two color picker elements in order to set the primary brand color and your secondary brand color. After making selections, you'll see the changes reflected in the gradient background of the header.
