Hey Nial. Pretty excited by all this - I've been considering doing the same thing for a while, think you might've given my arse a good kick. looking foreward to gettign stuck in to your postings
You need to add a segment in the settings and chose the podcast option. I called mine Rusty Niall (Audio) to differentiate it from the main blog. Then I went back to the main dashboard and clicked the "new episode" tab rather than the "new post" tab. It opens up an editor that is exactly the same as the post editor but there are options at the top to upload a file or record straight into it. I'll see if I can find a link to the post that showed me how to do this when I get a moment.
Presciently Substack sent me an email to say that you had a publication on here at lunch time today. Maybe you were already typing it up and they thought they'd get ahead of your reengagement. Looking forward to seeing more. I just started something similar over on BuyMeACoffee.

Thanks Paul, I’d love to see you start a substack. Let us know if you need any pointers. I found it all pretty straightforward.
cheers, I like what you've done with the audio segment. How do you do that?

cheers Nial, much appriciated, Just subrcibed to your audio feed and you popped up in my podcast app, it's all quite exciting!
It’s really good, I hope that their model makes enough money so they don’t end up messing it up in a year or two.
Oh, in my instructions above, the bit in the settings is “add section” rather than “add segment”. Good luck!
