You can publish a clip and its supporting metadata, from a source program to a destination program with a feed drop. This is useful for cross-promoting podcast shows in a network. For example, if a podcast series is concluding, you can use feed drops to release a teaser episode from a new program in a destination program, guiding listeners to your upcoming program.
With a feed drop you can also modify the clip’s title, description, publish date, season, episode number, and schedule its release date in the destination program.
A feed-dropped clip only appears in the Clips list of the source program, it does not belong to the destination program.
