What are podcast achievement badges?
Podcast achievement badges are progress awards for your podcast. Each badge comes with an image you can share to celebrate your podcast's growth.
There are 7 badge types, each with its own milestones (see the table below). We'll email you when you reach a new milestone, and badges you haven't earned yet show as locked.
You'll find your badges on the Achievements page in your podcast's Analytics tab. You can post about each individual badge or share an image that includes them all:
- To share a single badge, click Share under it and choose Bluesky, Threads, Facebook, LinkedIn or X. Or click View Badge, then Download Badge Image.
- To share all your badges at once, click View Image, then Download Badge Image and post it wherever you like.
