How can I see my podcast's stats on Spotify?
You can now login to Spotify's podcaster dashboard, even if you've submitted your podcast through Transistor!
In order to claim your podcast listing on Spotify, you'll need to first check that your email address is correctly shown in your RSS feed. This email address is used as part of Spotify's verification process.
Go to the Settings tab of your podcast in Transistor
Scroll down to the Owner Email field
Check that email address is correct and that it's an email address you can access
Check the box next to that field, marked Display this email in your RSS feed
Click Save Changes
Email addresses only need to be shown temporarily in your feed when submitting or claiming listings on podcast directories or when moving between hosting providers. You can toggle this setting off again after you have claimed your listing on Spotify. Hiding your email address at all other times will reduce spam to your email address.
Here's what the process looks like:
