Using Libsyn, you can setup your show to automatically publish new episodes with a link and image to your LinkedIn Page. To setup the LinkedIn connection, log into your Libsyn Dashboard and hover over Destinations, then hit Add New.
Locate LinkedIn in the list, and hit Add.
The system will ask you to log into LinkedIn, hit the log in button, and log in.
You will be asked to approve permissions for Libsyn to be able to publish to your LinkedIn profile and/or pages.
Once you've approved all the permissions, you will be redirected back to Libsyn. A list including your personal timeline and all your pages will appear. Choose where you want Libsyn to post on your behalf.
You can also choose what link gets shared, particularly if you utilize the Post Link option above. This is the link that would be included in the post which viewers would be able to click in order to access the show. How it gets accessed depends on the link you choose.
Directory Link
Libsyn has a podcast directory that showcases shows hosted by Libsyn. This directory can be found here:
Choosing the directory link option will link directly to your episode in the Libsyn podcast directory.
Episode Permalink
When you create an episode inside Libsyn, you can set the permalink for the episode. This can be a custom link, or even link to your Libsyn podcast page. If you choose episode permalink, that is the URL that would get shared.
Download URL
Each media file published has a download URL that can be used to access the media file directly. Choosing this option will share that download URL.
With your settings configured the way you wish, hit the Save button. Going forward, any episode published in Libsyn can be sent to LinkedIn.

Scheduling with LinkedIn
When scheduling an episode, the LinkedIn destination can have a time for release fully customized just as any other destination.
