00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.960
Welcome to Fan Zone, your bite -size guide to

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.599
getting the most out of the True Fans podcast

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.939
app. In each episode, we'll discuss an aspect

00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:17.760
of the app and hopefully answer any questions

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.000
you may have about it. Plus, when you listen

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.219
to Fan Zone in True Fans, you can earn as you

00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:27.140
listen and use your earnings to support your

00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:30.059
favourite podcasters. I'm Claire Wake Brown,

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.520
independent podcaster and all round podcast enthusiast.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.320
And I'm Sam Setty, the CEO and founder of True

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.560
Fans. We're on the episode level page. And in

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.100
the previous episodes, we've talked about the

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:48.840
icons and fun things that you can do using those.

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.460
Now we're going to look a little bit further

00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:54.740
down that page. to the tabs that run along from

00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:56.679
left to right, and that's the order we're going

00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.359
to look at them in. The first tab is show notes,

00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.560
which many listeners may already be familiar

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.599
with, but for anyone that's maybe new to podcasts,

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.950
what are show notes, Sam? Oh, oh, oh, just before

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:16.030
we get that explanation from Sam, while the term

00:01:16.030 --> 00:01:20.450
show notes is very well known, you will notice

00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:24.010
that the term we're using through fans is actually

00:01:24.010 --> 00:01:28.090
episode notes. And that makes sense because the

00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:31.909
notes are relevant to an episode. Show notes

00:01:31.909 --> 00:01:35.849
are something you create in your host. They are

00:01:35.849 --> 00:01:38.730
what a podcaster would do to give a guide to

00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:42.349
the listener or fan as to what's in the episode

00:01:42.349 --> 00:01:44.930
itself. But they also sometimes put in things

00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:48.170
like links to their email, maybe links to an

00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:51.709
external support page, or maybe some other information

00:01:51.709 --> 00:01:54.230
that they want you to know about. Yeah, can be

00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:57.390
like the credits as well, can't it? You can put

00:01:57.390 --> 00:01:59.349
in the information of who's helped you with it

00:01:59.349 --> 00:02:01.510
and just, yeah, there's a nice description of,

00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:03.969
do I want to continue listening to this? It sounds

00:02:03.969 --> 00:02:06.109
cool. Brilliant. I think that's all we need to

00:02:06.109 --> 00:02:08.669
say about show notes. Indeed. There is nothing

00:02:08.669 --> 00:02:12.870
more to say about show notes. Thanks so much

00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:15.449
for listening. There are lots more episodes of

00:02:15.449 --> 00:02:18.050
Fan Zone for you to get stuck into and that show

00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:20.469

00:02:20.469 --> 00:02:23.490
