# How do I mark my podcast as explicit?

It's very important that if you use explicit language or adult content in your show that you identify this in your podcast directory.

There's nothing wrong with explicit content, but not marking your show as explicit when it is may result in your removal from the directories.

**To mark your show as explicit:**

* Choose the relevant show from _My Podcasts_
* Click on _Podcast Settings,_ which is under the _Settings_ tab of the menu on the left hand side of your Captivate dashboard
* Scroll down to _Directory Settings_ until you see the two options for _does your podcast use explicit language,_ and select the relevant one for you

**_Note:_** _you can mark individual episodes as explicit._
