What is episode management?
Episode management is the core workflow of YBH Pulse Content. It transforms raw podcast transcripts into a complete suite of social-ready assets:- PRF (Podcast Repurposing Framework) - Strategic content analysis
- Viral hooks - Attention-grabbing social snippets
- Social posts - Platform-optimized content for LinkedIn and Instagram
- Visual suggestions - AI-generated infographics and quote cards
- Video clips - Short-form video recommendations with timestamps
- Episode metadata - Titles, descriptions, and show notes for your podcast CMS
Episode workflow
Here’s how content flows through the system:Upload transcript

Generate PRF

Generate hooks
Viral hooks are extracted from the PRF. These become the foundation for social content.
