If you have ever considered starting your own podcast, you have surely heard about podcast RSS feeds and wondered what it is, how to create one and what to do with it.
First things first, what is an RSS feed?
RSS stands for "Rich Site Syndication'' or "Really Simple Syndication".
Simply, an RSS feed is a script that people can subscribe to in order to access updates to online content, it is an XML-formatted web feed that specifies information contained in a blog or podcast allowing users to easily access the updates to that online content.
So what is a podcast RSS feed?
Podcast RSS feed is simply what powers your podcast, it essentially contains all of the information that makes up your podcast, allowing you to share it with the world.
Once you sign up and create your account, we will provide you with your own RSS feed so whenever you upload a podcast episode it will be automatically added to your feed, which you can then copy and paste it into directories, websites, etc.
What to do with my RSS feed?
Directories such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, look for and gather feeds so users can easily view, play and subscribe to them. In order for your podcast to be included in directories, you have to submit your RSS feed as well as some other details to each directory that you would like to be listed on.
So, there you have it. A podcast RSS feed is really just the means for easily distributing a podcast. Once you have your RSS feed, you can submit it to directories and place it on your website as well as your social media accounts to ensure your podcast is easily accessible and discoverable.
You can find your Podeo RSS by accessing the Distribution section of the dashboard under "PODCAST RSS LINK".
