Publishing to Podcast Platforms

Setting Up Your Feed

  1. 1

    Go to Publishing tab

    In your series settings, find the Publishing tab.

  2. 2

    Create your RSS feed

    Fill in your podcast details: title, description, author, and language.

  3. 3

    Choose categories

    Select iTunes categories that describe your podcast. This helps listeners discover you.

  4. 4

    Get your RSS URL

    Once created, you'll get an RSS feed URL to submit to podcast directories.

Publishing Episodes to Your Feed

Once your feed is set up, you can publish episodes directly from the Studio:

Publish Now

Make the episode available immediately. Platforms typically update within a few hours.

Schedule for Later

Set a future date and time. The episode will automatically publish at that moment.

Backdate

Migrating from another platform? Set a past date to maintain your episode order.

Submitting to Podcast Platforms

With your RSS feed URL, submit your podcast to these major platforms:

Tip: Submit once, publish forever. After you submit your RSS feed to a platform, new episodes are automatically picked up—you don't need to submit again.

Episode Metadata

Each episode has metadata that appears in podcast apps:

Title

What listeners see in their feed. Keep it clear and compelling.

Description

A paragraph explaining what the episode is about. Shows in podcast apps when someone taps for details.

Summary

A one-line teaser. Used for social sharing and quick previews.

Explicit Flag

Mark episodes with adult content. Required for platform compliance.

The AI generates this metadata automatically when creating your script. You can edit it anytime in the episode editor.

Scheduling Episodes

Consistency is key for podcast growth. You can schedule episodes in advance:

Pick your time zone

Set your preferred time zone so scheduled times make sense for you.

Choose date and time

Select when the episode should go live. Most podcasters publish in the morning.

Create a schedule

Set up a recurring schedule for your series (e.g., every Tuesday at 6am).

Publishing Best Practices

Be consistent

Publish on the same day each week. Listeners appreciate predictability.

Write good titles

Clear, specific titles get more clicks than vague ones. "How Coffee Changed History" beats "Episode 5."

Use keywords

Include relevant keywords in titles and descriptions. This helps with search discovery.

Preview before publishing

Always listen to your episode before making it public. Catch issues early.

Common Questions

How long until my episode appears on Spotify/Apple?

Usually 1-24 hours after publishing. Spotify tends to be faster; Apple can take longer for new podcasts.

Can I edit an episode after publishing?

You can update the audio file and metadata. Changes propagate to platforms within 24-48 hours.

Can I unpublish an episode?

Yes, you can remove episodes from your feed. They'll disappear from podcast apps within 24-48 hours.

Do I need to upload artwork?

Yes, podcast platforms require artwork. It should be square (1400x1400 to 3000x3000 pixels) in JPG or PNG format.
