# Upload Episodes in Podcast Generator

After you [configure Podcast Generator](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/live-broadcasting/install-podcast-generator-softaculous/), you’ll want to upload your first episode before you [submit your podcast to iTunes](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/live-broadcasting/submit-podcasts-to-itunes-with-podcast-generator/). Podcast Generator offers multiple methods to accomplish this. If you need more disk space and performance to accommodate more podcast episodes and listeners, you can get your content transferred to our [VPS host](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/vps-hosting) for free today with our [Website Transfer process](/support/website/ensure-successful-website-transfer/).
