How do I submit my podcast to Apple Podcasts?

You can submit your podcast to Apple Podcasts in one click from Transistor. You don't need an Apple Podcasts Connect account to do it.

Before you start, your podcast needs at least one published episode and the other items on the Distribution tab's checklist: artwork, a description, a category and a language.

To submit your podcast:

• Go to the Distribution tab for your podcast
• In the Apple Podcasts section, click Set up Apple Podcasts
• Under Confirm Content Rights, choose whether your podcast contains third-party content, and if it does, confirm you have the rights to it
• Click Submit my show to Apple Podcasts

Apple then processes your podcast, which can take up to an hour. We'll email you when it's live on Apple Podcasts, and your Apple Podcasts link will appear on the Distribution tab, your podcast website and your embed players.

Once Apple has approved your podcast, new episodes appear there automatically. You don't need to submit again.

What if I imported my podcast from another host?

If your podcast is already on Apple Podcasts, we try to find it and add your Apple Podcasts link for you. If we can't find it, click I already have an Apple Podcasts URL on the Apple Podcasts page and paste in your link. Submitting a podcast that's already on Apple Podcasts would give you a duplicate listing.

If your podcast has never been on Apple Podcasts, you can submit it with the steps above.
