Changing podcast or show categories on Spotify

A few things determine the categories your podcast or show appears in on Spotify:

  • The <itunes:categories> field in your RSS feed
    Tip: If you host your podcast with Spotify for Creators, you can update your category from your Settings.
  • If you upload your podcast through Spotify for Creators, you can choose categories when you submit your podcast or show
  • Our editorial team curates categories your show may appear in

Note: Chart categories are different to podcast categories elsewhere in the app. Check out Podcast charts for more info.
