Distributing your show

If you host your show with Spotify, it's distributed to listeners and viewers on Spotify automatically.

To get your show on platforms like Apple Podcasts, you need to submit it to each platform.

Note: You’ll need your RSS feed, found in Settings > Availability. Learn more about RSS feeds here

We have steps for submitting your show to several platforms:

If you don’t see the platform you want to distribute to listed here, search online for instructions on how to distribute to that platform.

Important info about distribution:

  • It can take some time for your show to appear on different platforms. Some platforms manually approve shows before publishing them. If your show isn’t showing up on a platform, reach out to their support team for help.
  • Your show will have a different URL on each platform. You generally can’t edit these URLs or they may break.
  • It's possible you may find your show on platforms you didn't manually submit it to. Third-party apps sometimes scrape RSS feeds and add them to their own platform. If you want your show removed from any of these services, contact them directly.
  • Most platforms post your new episodes and other changes shortly after you publish them. In some cases, it can take up to 24 hours for new episodes or other changes to reflect on all platforms.
  • If there are 2 or more versions of your show on a platform, contact us to get one of the versions removed.
  • Episodes that contain songs from Spotify's catalog are only available to listeners on Spotify.
