How to claim your podcast in Apple Podcasts Connect
If you have used Transistor's one-click submission to Apple Podcasts, your podcast will not appear in your Apple Podcasts Connect account. However, if you'd like full control of your podcast so that you can view listener insights, or make use of paid Apple Subscriptions, you can claim your show with a few simple steps and have it transferred to your own Apple Podcasts Connect account.
You will need your own account on Apple Podcasts Connect. Sign into your existing account or create a new account.
After signing into Apple Podcasts Connect, scroll to the bottom of the page and under the More Actions section, click the "Claim Existing Show" link.
Enter in the Apple Podcasts URL to the show you wish to claim. You can find this either in your Transistor dashboard, or in Apple Podcasts itself. It will look something like: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/learn-to-podcast/id1796281642
Click "Next" and you will be shown a claim token that can be copied to your clipboard. Copy the token and click "Done".
Back in Transistor, navigate to the Distribution section for your show. Scroll to the Apple Podcasts section, paste in the claim token you just generated, and click "Save".
The claim token will now appear in your RSS Feed. Apple will process the claim within 24 hours (usually much faster) and your show will then appear within your Apple Podcasts Connect account.
Additional information is available on the Apple Podcasts for Creators website.
