Announcing the Magic Pages Open House. Quarterly calls with our team!
Founder of Magic Pages. I build reliable Ghost hosting, so publishers can focus on what they do best − creating. When I'm not improving the platform, I'm probably helping a customer get their site just right.
Common Pod problems and their fixes — missing episodes on the homepage, a 404 at /podcast/rss/, Apple submission rejections, audio that won't play, chapters not appearing, and the rest.
Deep-dive on the channel-level Podcasting 2.0 fields Pod exposes as custom settings — <podcast:guid>, <podcast:locked>, <podcast:funding> (with Ghost tipjar fallback), <podcast:value> for Lightning. When to care, when to skip, and what's supported per-episode.
The submission workflow — what Apple + Spotify's forms want, how to verify ownership, and what happens after approval. Includes the closed-catalog apps (Amazon, YouTube Music, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Pandora) and how to wire them into Pod.
How Pod's /subscribe/ page, homepage band, and end-of-episode CTA work — the ten podcast apps that always appear, the six that need a show URL from you, and how the deep links actually work under the hood.
Three ways to give Pod your MP3s — upload to Ghost, point at any external URL via a code-injection marker, or drop an <audio> HTML card in the post body. Which one to use, when to switch, and what to watch out for.
A private copy of your site to redesign, restructure, or experiment on − then push it live in one click. Your readers only ever see the finished result.
Generate the exact Ghost code-injection block Pod needs for each episode — chapters, duration, Podcasting 2.0 tags. Live preview, copy-paste ready.
Install Pod, wire the /podcast/rss/ + /subscribe/ routes, and publish your first episode. Ten minutes end-to-end.
Your Ghost site becomes your podcast host — audio, feed and all. Upload the MP3, write the show notes, hit publish. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and every other app read the feed straight from your own domain. No third-party host, no extra monthly bill.

Your subscribers see your main domain − but the technical sending domain has to be a subdomain. Here's the plain-English reason why.
There's now a simpler, all-CNAME sending setup with auto-rotating DKIM. Moving to it is simple, and nothing changes unless you opt in.
Custom sending domains are now all-CNAME, with auto-rotating 2048-bit DKIM and a simlpe upgrade.
We'll send you a monthly round-up of new features at Magic Pages, Ghost CMS updates, helpful tutorials, and exclusive tips we've learned from working with 1,400+ publishers.
