    Evergreen

    Back-catalog content that maintains relevance over time and continues to attract downloads months or years after publish.

    Studios that systematically backfill transcripts, refresh show notes, and add chapter markers to their back catalog convert their archive into evergreen inventory. A 2-year-old episode with a published transcript and good show notes can be the largest single source of SEO traffic to the show. Evergreen back catalog is the most under-monetized lever most studios have.
