## Show Description (long)

Optimized Airway is a weekly podcast for dental hygienists who are ready to expand beyond the prophy.

Hosted by Kirsten Trevisonn — registered dental hygienist, certified myofunctional therapist, and founder of Optimized Airway Education — each 12–15 minute episode gives you one practical, clinical tool you can use at your very next recall appointment.

You'll learn how to screen for airway issues in under 90 seconds, how to talk to patients and parents about tongue tie and mouth breathing without sounding alarmist, how to bring myofunctional therapy into your operatory, and how to build a more sustainable, higher-impact, better-paid career as a hygienist.

New episodes every Tuesday. Whether you're a brand-new grad or 20 years into the chair, this is the show that meets you where you are and helps you become the kind of clinician you trained to be.

## Where the two descriptions actually go (Buzzsprout has no "short description" field)

This is the part that's blocking you — Buzzsprout doesn't label them the way Apple does.

**1. The long description**
Buzzsprout → **Settings → Podcast Info** → the big rich-text box labelled **"Description"** (it sits directly under Title/Author, below the artwork uploader). Paste the *long* version there. If you only see Title + Artwork, scroll down — the box is further down the same page, not on a separate tab.

**2. The short description**
There is **no separate field for it.** Apple and Spotify auto-generate the short blurb by taking roughly the **first 200 characters of your Description**. So the way you "set" the short version is:

> Make the **first paragraph** of your Description the short version, then a blank line, then the rest of the long version.

That's it. Copy this exact block into the Description box:

**3. The subtitle / tagline**
Only some Buzzsprout layouts show a "Tagline" field. If you don't see one, skip it — it's optional and Apple ignores it. Nothing is broken.

**Then hit Save at the bottom.** Once it saves, you're done with Settings forever — the rest is uploading the trailer.
