What This Skill Does
Automates publishing podcast episodes from RSS and Notion to Substack, with reliable Apple Podcasts embedding. Also generates LinkedIn companion posts from the same episode content.
Handles the specific embed fragility in Substack that causes podcast players to render as plain text instead of interactive cards.
When to use it
- Publishing a new podcast episode to Substack after it drops
- Pulling episode scripts and images out of Notion for a post draft
- Fixing broken or text-only podcast embeds in Substack
- Cross-posting episode summaries to LinkedIn without rewriting
- Keeping a consistent publishing workflow across RSS, Notion, and Substack
