Podcast feeds

A podcast feed is an RSS link that tells apps like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Overcast where to find your episodes. One feed = one podcast show. Most creators only need one.

Creating a feed

1. Open Podcast feeds in the sidebar.
2. Click Create feed. A form opens.
3. Fill in:
   • Podcast title (required).
   • Author / host — your name or brand.
   • Description — one paragraph about the show. Listeners see this in podcast apps.
   • Category — pick the Apple Podcasts category that best fits (News, Business, Technology, etc.).
   • Language.
   • Contact email — required by most directories.
   • Website URL — your newsletter or website.
   • Copyright notice.
   • Contains explicit content — tick if relevant.
   • Logo — drag and drop your cover art. Apple requires square art at least 1400×1400 pixels.
4. Click Save. Your feed is live immediately.

Adding episodes

In Create content, tick the box for the feed(s) the post belongs to. When you publish a post, it appears in the feed. You can add the same post to multiple feeds.

Submitting to podcast apps

1. On the feed card, click Copy next to the feed URL.
2. Submit the URL to each podcast directory:
   • Apple Podcasts — podcastsconnect.apple.com.
   • Spotify — podcasters.spotify.com.
   • YouTube — via YouTube Studio → Content → Podcasts.
   • Amazon, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and most others will find you automatically once Apple approves you, or accept the feed URL directly.
3. Each platform verifies your feed before making your show searchable. Typical turnaround:
   • Spotify — usually a few minutes to a few hours.
   • Apple Podcasts — usually 24 hours to a few days.
   • YouTube — usually within 24 hours after you verify your RSS feed in YouTube Studio.
   • Amazon Music, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Castro — typically within a day of submission or Apple approval.
   Once approved, new episodes appear automatically every time you publish.

Editing and deleting feeds

• Edit — change any of the metadata at any time. Podcast apps pick up changes within a day.
• View XML — see the raw feed file. Useful only if you’re debugging.
• Delete — removes the feed. Warning: this will break the podcast for existing listeners. Use with care.
