Submit Your RSS Feed To Other Directoriesįirst, you should know that many directories and most podcast listening apps use Apple Podcasts (iTunes) as their source of podcast data. It can take a few weeks for Apple to approve your podcast, but I’ve seen it approved in a few days or a few hours.

If everything was set up correctly, you should see a green light and ‘Prepared for Submission’ under the Status heading.You will also see your podcast cover art, title, description, episodes, and other info included with your feed.

Paste your RSS feed into the new feed section of Podcasts Connect (formerly iTunes Connect) and click Validate.

If you’re using Buzzsprout, click on the iTunes & Directories tab.

Copy your RSS feed from your podcast host.

Here are the steps to submit your RSS feed to Apple Podcasts:

Artwork (minimum 1400 x 1400 pixels, maximum 3000 x 3000 pixels)Īpple has additional details on podcast feed requirements should you run into any issues, but most podcast hosts will make sure all this information is completed.

Apple ID (it’s free, create one here if you don’t have one).Other requirements for submitting include: You will need at least one episode published so that when you submit your podcast RSS feed, Apple Podcasts knows you have a podcast. Keep in mind you’ll only have to do this step once after your upload your first episode. You can also look into a third-party podcast player like the Fusebox Player (formerly Smart Podcast Player) if you want to streamline the process.
