Below are the steps to submit your new podcast to specific listening platforms. This is a one time process that must happen in order for these platforms to register your new podcast. Before you submit, here are the criteria required by the listening platforms to index your new series:
- Title
- Series Description*
- Series Image*
- Genre*
- Language*
- Rating*
- Author Name*
- ART19 RSS feed URL**
- At least one published episode (here's how to publish an episode)
*These can all be found on your ART19 Series Details page.
** Find your RSS feed URL in the Feeds section under Content in the left-side menu of the profile. Click “Primary Feed”. Find more information about RSS Feeds here.
When you are ready to distribute your podcast, follow the steps below to submit your podcast to each listening platform. Once completed, these listening platforms will start to automatically scrape your RSS feed to grab any new content, meaning any new episodes published on ART19 will automatically appear.
Please note that this is not instant. Most platforms take a few hours but sometimes it can take up to 5 days. We suggest submitting your series well in advance of any launch date. A trailer or even just an audio file with 5 seconds of silence can be used as a holding place until you're ready to release your main episodes.
Listening Platforms You Can Submit to:
Amazon Music/Audible:
You can submit your shows here by clicking “Add or Claim Your Podcast”. You will be asked to sign in or create an Amazon account to access your podcast dashboard, if you don’t have one already.
Apple/iTunes:
- Log in to Apple using an Apple ID, and you'll be automatically taken to the Podcast Submit page. Please note: If it’s a brand new Apple ID that has never been used to submit a podcast before, then you’ll need to log in through iTunes desktop to accept Terms of Service. For more information on how to do this, visit Podcast Connect Help. You will also need a valid credit card on file, although submitting a podcast is free.
- Submit your ART19 RSS feed and click Validate.
Apple can take 5 business days to respond. You can reach out to Podcast Connect Help if you need their assistance.
