Steps
Authenticate to the Simplecast API with a Bearer token in the Authorization header
If the podcast_id is not already known, look it up via GET /podcasts
Build a JSON body containing only the fields to change, such as title, description, language, or is_explicit
Send POST /podcasts/{podcast_id} with the update payload
Confirm the response is 200 and the returned podcast object reflects the new settings
Re-fetch GET /podcasts/{podcast_id} afterward if downstream systems need the fully resolved object
Known gotchas
Only send the fields you intend to change, and verify Simplecast's partial-update versus full-replace semantics before assuming omitted fields are left untouched
Show-level metadata edits propagate to syndicated feeds like Apple Podcasts and Spotify with a delay, so downstream platforms will not reflect changes instantly
This is distinct from episode-level endpoints; it only touches show-level settings, not episode records or stats
