Most podcast directories follow a similar process. The basic process is signing up for an account, submitting your RSS feed to the service and finally waiting for their approval. In this article we are going to guide you through the steps you should follow in order to submit your podcasts to different directories:
--Spotify--
- Log in to Spotify for Podcasters: This will be connected to a Spotify account, so please make sure you are logging in with the account associated with your podcast.
- Click on the “Add Your Podcast” link on the sidebar.
- Add the RSS feed for your podcast that is already on Spotify.
- Verify that you own the podcast: Spotify will send a verification code to the email address in the RSS feed. If you do not have access to the email in the RSS feed, please reach out to Transistor to get this updated.
- Type in the verification code.
- Confirm additional metadata associated with your podcast (country, language, categories)
- Press “Submit”
- You will then have access to the Spotify analytics for this podcast.
--Apple Podcasts--
- Click on the “Apple Podcast” Button.

- Enter Contact Information (Name, Email, Phone)
- Click the tab for “Availability and Rights” in the left sidebar
- Check the appropriate boxes for “Availability” & “Content Rights”
