Click the drop-down next to Autoloading playlist.
Check the box next to Add Autoloading Playlist.
Select the playlist with the podcast name we created above.
Click Add This Show and it should be added to your Calendar.
The latest podcast will be automatically added one hour before your show is set to air.
To add other tracks to play along with this show edit the playlist with the podcast name. Any tracks or smartblocks added to this playlist will be scheduled along with this playlist.
To add tracks before or after all autoloading playlists see the Intro playlist and Outro playlist tutorials.
