How do I submit my podcast to Apple Podcasts?

Apple Podcasts is one of the largest podcast directories, making it easy for listeners to discover and follow your show on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and other Apple devices.

Submitting your podcast only takes a few minutes.

Before you begin

Make sure your podcast:

• Has at least one published episode.
• Includes podcast artwork and all required podcast information.
• Is already published on Fireside.

Submit your podcast

1. Sign in to Apple Podcasts Connect using your Apple Account. If you don't have one, create an Apple Account first.
2. In your Fireside dashboard, go to Dashboard → Tools → Connections.
3. Click Submit to Apple Podcasts.
4. You'll be taken to Apple Podcasts Connect, where your RSS feed is automatically provided for validation and submission.
5. Follow the prompts to complete the submission.

Apple will validate your RSS feed before accepting it. If there are any issues, you'll be asked to correct them before continuing.

After you submit

Once Apple approves your podcast, it will appear in Apple Podcasts and will automatically receive new episodes whenever you publish them on Fireside.

Approval times vary, but many podcasts are approved within a few days.
