Introduction
This Template allows you to host and upload your own podcast. You can create podcast seasons and upload individual episodes to each season.
The Template uses our "Simple HTML Audio Player" Plugin to play the podcasts.
You also have access to an admin panel where you can upload new seasons/episodes. With this dashboard you could enable other users to upload their podcasts, therefore transforming the app into a podcast directory.

Setup Guide
Once you have bought or added a template to your account, you will see a dropdown in the New Application popup that lets you pick a template as the basis for the new application.
Note: This can only be done when you create a new app.
After you've selected a block you bought, complete the ”Name your app” field and press Create app.
Tip: A template isn't a theme for your app, but a pre-built set of elements and workflows. You can modify the template as you would modify another app.
Wait for Bubble to load the application with all the data.
After the application has loaded, you'll see the Component library on the right side for New Application. You can close it or follow the assistant steps to adjust different settings.
Congrats: You have successfully created a Bubble app based on your template. Now you're ready to go and dive into the Bubble no-code development toolset.
Remove Banner
This template comes with a promotional banner above the Header element. Feel free to remove it from your app.

Reusable Elements Overview
Header
The header reusable element sits at the top of each page and serves a few very important purposes. It does provide a place for the company's logo, navigation, and page title which are part of a consistent user experience that all good websites share.
Other common header features include search, shopping cart (for eCommerce), login/logout, user profile, and notifications (if applicable). The workflows included with this element are pretty straightforward to follow.
This reusable element is customizable, so it is possible to change the styles and content of the element while keeping workflows or using it as inspiration for your own.
