Below are the old steps we took when we were editing Podcasts for OTL. However, Steven (their Creative Director) now handles the podcast edits and he provides the title, description, and mp3 file for us to post. Here is a video tutorial on the steps you will need to take in scheduling OTL Podcasts moving forward. https://www.screencast.com/t/hpb0BDblM6
