Creating Your Podcast Episodes in Canva
Step 1: Choose a Podcast Template
To get started, pick a podcast template in Canva. There are plenty of options, but searching for “podcast video” will help narrow it down. Once you find a template you like, customize it to fit your brand — change colors, fonts, add your logo, and make it your own.
Step 2: Add Your Podcast Content
Once your design is ready, you have two options for adding content:
Audio-Only Podcast
If you’re not showing video, simply upload a photo of yourself or your guest (if you’re doing an interview). Then, add your voiceover by going to Uploads > Record Yourself in Canva. Turn off your camera and record your podcast directly in Canva. A small audio circle will appear on your template — just send it to the back so it’s not visible, and you’re good to go!Video Podcast
If you want to record video as well, follow the same steps but leave your camera on while recording. Canva will place a small video circle on your template, but you can resize it or change its shape (rectangle, full-screen, etc.).
Step 3: Edit Your Podcast
Once you’ve recorded your podcast, Canva gives you full editing freedom. You can:
- Add background music
- Insert an intro song
- Include sound effects
- Trim clips
Once everything looks and sounds great, you’re ready to share your podcast with your audience.
Sharing Your Podcast with Listeners
Many podcasters upload their episodes to platforms like Spotify, but more and more creators are hosting their podcasts on their own websites instead. Why? Because hosting it yourself gives you full control over your content, avoids third-party restrictions, and even allows you to monetize however you want.
- Download your episode from Canva as an MP4.
- Head to your website and set up a podcast page, where you’ll showcase all of your episodes. Take a peek at the example below for inspiration!
- Upload your latest episode to the page so visitors can watch or listen directly — no extra apps needed!
Monetizing Your Podcast with MemberSpace
If you don’t want to give away all your episodes for free, you can turn your podcast into a paid members-only experience using MemberSpace.
- Install MemberSpace on your website — it works with any CMS only takes a few minutes to set up.
- Lock your podcast page by copying your podcast page URL and pasting it into your MemberSpace dashboard. This will instantly add a paywall to it.
- Set up a pricing plan. You can charge:
- A one-time fee
- A recurring subscription
- A free plan with limited episodes
Now, when someone tries to access your podcast page, they’ll see a pop-up asking them to subscribe before they can listen.
Quick Tip: You can also create different pricing tiers, like a free plan that gives access to a few episode and a paid plan that unlocks the entire podcast library. This setup gives you the flexibility to keep certain content private, offer exclusive bonus episodes, or even turn your podcast into a full-blown membership site.
Final Thoughts
And that’s it! You now have a fully branded, hosted, and even monetized podcast, all set up on your website.
Don’t forget — MemberSpace lets you do much more than just podcasts. You can sell online courses, templates, and other digital products too!
