Announcement Email Template — Podcast New Episode
A bold podcast new-episode announcement with episode number, show notes teaser, and a play-now CTA. Designed for media and entertainment.

The prompt
Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.
- An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
- A
[layout]step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links. - Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.
Want this exact email? Click Use this template below to clone
it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share LH9a0ZdWHOXtvfiVu251v and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,

A bold podcast drop email built on a single display verb. A violet gradient hero carries an episode badge, a 76px “Press play.” headline, a subtitle and a pink CTA — with a custom equalizer-bars mark as the only ornament — then drops into a native stack of show notes, an episode list and a listen-now button. The whole email sits on the same violet ground, so the hero and body read as one surface.
Snapshot
- Goal: announce a new episode and drive immediate listens.
- Audience & tone: podcast subscribers. Bold, direct, punchy — a command, not a pitch.

Make it yours
- Swap “EPISODE #042”, the “Press play.” verb, and the three episode titles for your drop.
- Repoint the pink to your show’s accent — keep the equalizer-bars mark in the same hue so they tie.
- If you send from a business address, add an address block after social for CAN-SPAM compliance.
About announcements email templates
An announcement earns its own send when it's time-sensitive or significant enough to need full attention on its own subject line — a launch, a leadership change, a funding round, or a policy update, rather than one more line in the next newsletter issue.
See all announcements templates →What kind of news deserves a standalone announcement email instead of a newsletter mention?
Anything time-sensitive or significant enough to need its own subject line and full attention — a launch, a leadership change, a funding round, or a policy update that changes how customers use your product.
How long should a product-update announcement be?
Long enough to explain what shipped and why it matters, short enough to read in under a minute — the templates below separate a short "what's new" summary from optional deeper detail below it.
How do I announce a leadership change without it feeling like a press release?
The new-CEO and leadership templates below lead with a short, human bio and a direct quote rather than a formal title-and-tenure rundown.
Should an announcement email include a call to action?
Not always — a policy update or leadership announcement can stand on its own, while a product-launch announcement should point to one clear next step, like trying the feature or booking a demo.
