From a finished chapter to a feed

Read it here. Share the feed. Publish when you're ready.

Every Series has a built-in reader and player. This guide covers written exports, listening by RSS, public directories, and reusable audio segments.

Listen Downloads Podcast apps Public show Rolls

Start with the simple option

Read and listen in Gnothi

This is the default. There is nothing to publish or configure first.

Open a completed chapter in the app or site to read it and use the built-in player. Narration is included with each generated chapter. Your Series can remain private inside Gnothi while you do this.

Download the writing

Use the chapter actions menu for one chapter, or export the completed book.

Export chapter

Downloads a .txt file with the chapter heading and Markdown-formatted text. You can open it as plain text or use the Markdown in another editor.

Export book

Builds an EPUB from the Series' completed chapters in chronological order. The download link is temporary; the export does not require a public feed.

M4A audiobook

Coming soon. A finished-book M4A download is not available yet. Read or listen in Gnothi, or use the RSS options below today.

Enable a feed for podcast apps

A feed gives you one audio RSS URL to copy into a podcast app or share with friends.

Open the Series, choose Manage, then Publishing.
Choose Feed, read and accept the publishing-rights and public-exposure acknowledgment, then save.
Open Subscribe and copy the Audio RSS address.

A Feed URL stays out of public directories until you submit it, but it has no password or access controls. Anyone who receives it can open or forward it. Switching the Series back to Private cannot recall copies already downloaded elsewhere, so do not submit a friends-only feed to a public directory.

Follow the feed on iPhone or Android

Copy the Audio RSS address from Gnothi first. These direct subscriptions do not list the show in a public catalog.

Apple Podcasts on iPhone or iPad

Open Podcasts and tap Library. Tap More (•••), choose Follow a Show by URL, paste the feed address, and tap Follow.

AntennaPod on Android

We recommend AntennaPod for a simple open-source option. Open the lower-right ••• menu, tap + Add Podcast, choose the RSS address option, paste the feed address, preview it, and subscribe.

Submit a public show

Enable the Gnothi feed first, then submit that same audio RSS address to each service separately. Gnothi does not list it for you.

YouTube and YouTube Music

Choose Create, New podcast, then Submit RSS feed. Verify using the email in the feed, choose which episodes to import, wait for ingestion, review them under Content → Podcasts, and publish. YouTube makes static-image videos from the artwork and audio; availability and account requirements vary.

Open YouTube Studio ↗Official RSS steps ↗

Spotify

Add a new show, choose Find an existing show, then Somewhere else. Enter the RSS URL and the verification code sent to the feed's email address. This keeps Gnothi as the host.

Open Spotify for Creators ↗Official show steps ↗

Apple Podcasts

Add a New Show with an RSS feed. Review the imported details, set content rights and availability, save, resolve validation warnings, then publish for Apple's review.

Open Apple Podcasts Connect ↗Official submission steps ↗

Directory approval and feed updates take their own processing time. Public destination links you later add in Gnothi are shortcuts for listeners; adding one does not submit the show.

Add an intro, mid-roll, or outro

Upload your own reusable audio under Manage → Audio → Rolls.

First-chapter intro

A one-time opening for the beginning of the Series.

Intro

A reusable opening for ordinary episodes.

Mid-roll

Placed around a topic change and a suitable pause, using the timing you choose.

Outro

A reusable close for credits, announcements, or a call to action.

Upload sponsor messages, announcements, credits, and calls to action as reusable clips. Existing rendered episodes keep their old audio until you explicitly re-render them. Before submitting to YouTube, review or remove advertising roll segments: YouTube restricts embedded advertiser-supplied ad breaks, while host-read sponsorships follow separate branded-content rules.

Make the next chapter

Create the Series first. Its reader, narration, exports, and publishing controls stay together.
