 * I would like to use a cpt for my podcast. But every time I create the cpt, the
   podcast episode box does not appear below the content.
   Here is the cpt declaration
   I used.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       register_post_type('podcast', array(
       		'show_in_rest' => true,
       		'has_archive' => true,
       		'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail'),
       		'taxonomies' => array( 'category' ),
       		'public' => true,
       		'capability_type' => 'post',
       		'rewrite' => true,
       		'hierarchical' => false,
       		'labels' => array(
       			'name' => 'Podcasts',
       			'add_new_item' => 'Add A Nouveau Podcast',
       			'edit_item' => 'Edit Podcast',
       			'all_items' => 'All Podcasts',
       			'singular_name' => 'Podcast'
       		),
       		'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-microphone'
       	));
       ```
   
 * So I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

 * The best way to do a CPT is to use the CHANNELS feature instead of Post Type 
   podcasting.
 * You setup a channel and then in the “other” menu in the channel settings, select
   the post type you would like to use.

 * Thank you for your answer.
   I did as you said and created a channel and linked
   to a Post type. I then created an episode and validated the feed.The problem 
   now is that every time I do the import, the episodes are put in the default post
   and not in the post type to which I linked the channel.
 * I don’t know if I forgot a step

 * No, You didn’t forget something. I forgot about the CPT.
 * So, to fix that Install a plugin called “Post Type Switcher” and then you can
   move the posts from Posts to your CPT. That will get it into the feed.
