Summary
- Generate a two-voice episode for each eligible English blog post, then attach it to the configured podcast show with its canonical article link.
- Expose every generated episode directly on matching blog pages with an accessible native audio player, Open Graph audio metadata, and linked structured data.
- Publish the website-owned RSS feed, including valid RSS 2.0 enclosures, stable GUIDs, podcast artwork, and canonical article links.
- Make the feed crawl-discoverable through a global RSS alternate link and the robots.txt sitemap entry.
- Add a serialized workflow for new posts plus a quota-aware daily backfill of the two oldest missing episodes.
Why
The automation now produces an episode and the website becomes its discoverable home. Google-supported Article markup remains the primary markup; PodcastEpisode and AudioObject add accurate semantic context without claiming a podcast rich result.
