Let’s walk through the steps together:  ### **Step 1: Go to Show Settings** Head to your dashboard’s homepage and select “Show Settings” under your podcast’s name.  ![Screenshot 2024-12-11 at 11.26.21 AM](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-12-11%20at%2011.26.21%20AM.png?width=670&height=229&name=Screenshot%202024-12-11%20at%2011.26.21%20AM.png) Alternatively, you can head to “Distribution” in your menu and then select the “Show Settings” tab.  ### **Step 2: Scroll to Categorization** When you’ve landed in show settings, you’ll see information about your podcast’s title and description.  Scroll down until you reach the section, “Categorization”.  ![Screenshot 2024-12-19 at 10.22.06 AM](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-12-19%20at%2010.22.06%20AM.png?width=670&height=265&name=Screenshot%202024-12-19%20at%2010.22.06%20AM.png) ### **Step 3: Update Your Podcast Categories** On CoHost, you can have up to three categories associated with your podcast. You have one primary (main) category which is the root category that your show falls under. For example, “Business”.  Your second and third categories live within your root category. For example, maybe they’re “Business \> Entrepreneurship” and “Business \> Investing”. They both have the root category of “Business” but get a bit more specific to your show.  ### **Step 4: Submit Your Changes** Once you’re finished updating your podcast categories, scroll down to the bottom of the show settings page and press submit.  ![Screenshot 2024-12-11 at 11.29.09 AM](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-12-11%20at%2011.29.09%20AM.png?width=670&height=313&name=Screenshot%202024-12-11%20at%2011.29.09%20AM.png) It may take a bit for all changes to reflect within the listening apps.   - [Getting Started with CoHost](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/getting-started-with-cohost?hsLang=en-us) - [Create, import, and modify my podcast](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/create-import-and-modify-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Podcast Migration](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/create-import-and-modify-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#podcast-migration) - [Editing/Updating My Podcast](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/create-import-and-modify-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#editing-updating-my-podcast) - [Create, publish, and edit my episodes](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/create-publish-and-edit-my-episodes?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Episode Set Up](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/create-publish-and-edit-my-episodes?hsLang=en-us#episode-set-up) - [Episode Publishing](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/create-publish-and-edit-my-episodes?hsLang=en-us#episode-publishing) - [Episode Editing](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/create-publish-and-edit-my-episodes?hsLang=en-us#episode-editing) - [Distribute my podcast](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/distribute-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Podcast Fundamentals](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/distribute-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#podcast-fundamentals) - [Listening Apps](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/distribute-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#listening-apps) - [RSS Feed](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/distribute-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#rss-feed) - [General](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/general?hsLang=en-us) - [Grow my podcast](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/grow-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [How To's](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/grow-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#how-tos) - [Tips & Best Practices](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/grow-my-podcast?hsLang=en-us#tips-best-practices) - [Managing my CoHost account](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/managing-my-cohost-account?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Adding Features](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/managing-my-cohost-account?hsLang=en-us#adding-features) - [Billing](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/managing-my-cohost-account?hsLang=en-us#billing) - [Team Members](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/managing-my-cohost-account?hsLang=en-us#team-members) - [Multi-Show Management](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/managing-my-cohost-account?hsLang=en-us#multi-show-management) - [Prefix](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/managing-my-cohost-account?hsLang=en-us#prefix) - [Free Trial](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/managing-my-cohost-account?hsLang=en-us#free-trial) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-us) - [Understanding my CoHost features](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-my-cohost-features?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [CoHost Tracking Links](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-my-cohost-features?hsLang=en-us#cohost-tracking-links) - [Automatic Websites](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-my-cohost-features?hsLang=en-us#automatic-websites) - [Automatic Transcriptions](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-my-cohost-features?hsLang=en-us#automatic-transcriptions) - [Audio Insertion](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-my-cohost-features?hsLang=en-us#audio-insertion) - [Websites](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-my-cohost-features?hsLang=en-us#websites) - [Show Analytics](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-my-cohost-features?hsLang=en-us#show-analytics) - [Understanding podcast analytics](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-podcast-analytics?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Growth Metrics](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-podcast-analytics?hsLang=en-us#growth-metrics) - [General Analytics](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-podcast-analytics?hsLang=en-us#general-analytics) - [Engagement Metrics](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-podcast-analytics?hsLang=en-us#engagement-metrics) - [Audience Insights](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/understanding-podcast-analytics?hsLang=en-us#audience-insights) - [CoHost Updates](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/cohost-updates?hsLang=en-us) [![](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CoHost_Logo-3.png?width=729&height=222&name=CoHost_Logo-3.png)](https://www.cohostpodcasting.com) Robina Avenue, York, ON  [mailto:email@email.com](mailto:email@email.com) Copyright © 2024, cohostpodcasting.com
