08 Shows & Series

Define the cast once. Use them in every episode.

A show in flexVox is a container for everything that repeats — the cast bible, the format, the tone, the narrator mode, the intro and outro music, the episode template. Start a new episode and all of it is pre-loaded. Promote a standalone project to a show in one tap.

One container for everything that repeats.

A flexVox production is a series-level container. It stores everything that's the same across episodes — the cast bible, the show's default format and tone, the narrator mode, the audio identity, the episode template. When you start a new episode in a production, all of it is pre-loaded.

Productions are entirely optional. Standalone projects work as they did before. You can promote any standalone project to a show with one long-press → Create Show from This. Speakers, voice assignments, and character profiles carry forward to a new production, and the original project becomes Episode 1.

Productions are the difference between making one podcast and making a show. Same workflow; one piece of context becomes durable.

The cast bible.

Every show stores its cast. Recurring members and guests. Each one has a character profile — role, age, biography, personality, speaking style — and an optional voice assignment. When a new episode is created, every cast member is automatically copied in as a speaker with their profile and voice already mapped.

The cast bible is also what the AI script writer reads. If you draft an episode with the writer, it sees the cast as fixed input — names, profiles, the consistent voices they each have. That's what makes AI-drafted episodes within a show actually sound like the same show.

  • MembersRecurring cast for the whole series.
  • GuestsOne-time appearances. Same profile shape, same inheritance.
  • Voice assignmentsElevenLabs voice IDs. Portable since they reference the same catalog.
  • Per-cast profileRole, age, biography, personality, speaking style.

Episode templates give every episode a shape.

Most shows have a structure. flexVox's episode template lets you define named segments — Intro, Cold Open, Main Topic, Listener Q&A, Outro — with descriptions. New episodes start with the template already in place, so writing or generating against it is consistent.

Segments are reorderable. You can keep a template loose (just names), or include real-time targets per segment (60s, ~12 min). When you generate, every segment lands in its own collapsible block in the review screen.

Show audio identity.

Most shows have audio signatures — an intro sting, an outro bed, transition swooshes between segments. flexVox lets a production reference assets from the Sound Library that get pre-applied across every episode. The same intro plays every week, drawn from the same file, without you re-importing it.

  • Intro musicPlays at the start of every episode. Configurable per show.
  • Outro musicPlays at the end. Auto-ducked if dialogue overlaps.
  • TransitionsStings between named segments. Reuse one across the whole series.
  • Format & toneSet once on the show; new episodes inherit them.
  • Narrator modeFull Cast, Single Narrator, or Narrator + Cast — series-default.

Promote to series — the standalone-to-show bridge.

Most shows start as one experiment. flexVox doesn't make you decide up front whether you're building a series. Long-press any standalone project → Create Show from This. The project becomes Episode 1 of a new production. Its speakers, voice assignments, and character profiles seed the cast bible. The script's structure becomes a starting episode template. Nothing has to be redone.

Where shows live.

Shows are accessible from the Project List (when any exist) and from Settings. The Project List shows recent episodes inline. Tap a show to open the Production editor: cast bible, episode template, show identity, episode list with season & episode numbers. Episodes in the list show their S1E3 label and link directly to the standard three-tab project editor.
