Assisters's Podcast

1. Sign in at podcastsconnect.apple.com with an Apple ID.
2. Click the + (Add Show) → “Add a show with an RSS feed”.
3. Paste your podcast RSS URL and click Add — Apple validates the feed (~30 min).
4. Verify ownership via the code emailed to your <itunes:owner> address (set your own owner email first).
5. Submit for review — approval typically takes 1–5 business days.

Requires a square cover 1400×1400–3000×3000 (we serve one automatically at /podcast/cover.png), a valid owner email, and at least one episode. Being on Apple also seeds Overcast, Pocket Casts and many other apps.

1. Go to podcasters.spotify.com and log in with a Spotify account.
2. Click “Add your podcast” → “Get started”.
3. Paste your RSS feed URL exactly.
4. Confirm the verification code Spotify emails to your <itunes:owner> address.
5. Review the details and submit — it usually goes live within a few hours.

Spotify has no public self-serve submit API — the RSS paste-in flow is the only path. The feed must be HTTPS and return valid XML.

1. Open podcasters.amazon.com and sign in with an Amazon account.
2. Click “Add your podcast” and paste your RSS feed URL.
3. Select the country where most of your listeners are.
4. Verify ownership via the emailed code.
5. Submit — distribution covers both Amazon Music and Audible (~24h to appear).

1. Go to podcasters.iheart.com and create / sign in to a podcaster account.
2. Choose “Add a Podcast” and paste your RSS feed URL.
3. Fill out the submission form (name, email; category/language read from the feed).
4. Agree to the Terms and verify ownership of the feed.
5. Submit for review — approval usually takes 1–2 weeks.

1. Open YouTube Studio → Content → Podcasts → “New podcast” → “Submit RSS feed”.
2. Accept the RSS Ingestion Tool Terms of Service (verify your identity if needed).
3. Paste your RSS feed URL — the author's OWN /@username/podcast.xml, never the network-wide /podcast.xml — and verify ownership via the emailed code.
4. YouTube ingests each episode’s audio and publishes it to YouTube Music.

Availability varies by country. Your feed must contain the owner email. Podcast content on YouTube may not contain baked-in ads (host-read sponsorships are allowed). Submit ONE feed per channel: YouTube's RSS ingestion is an ongoing reconciliation, not a one-time import — deleting a video it created does not stick if the matching feed item is still there (YouTube's own delete dialog says so and re-uploads it), and linking a second overlapping feed (e.g. the network aggregate alongside an author's own) creates a second video per shared episode that neither ingestion will ever recognise as a duplicate of the other's.

1. Click “Add to Podcast Index” below — we submit your feed via the Podcast Index API.
2. Or, manually: open podcastindex.org/add, paste your RSS URL and submit (no account needed).
3. Podcast Index reads your <podcast:guid> and indexes the feed within minutes.

The open index behind Podverse, Fountain, CurioCaster and other Podcasting 2.0 apps — unlocks transcript, funding and value-for-value features straight from your feed. Its add-by-feed API requires an approval-gated write key, so we submit here opportunistically; the manual paste-in form at podcastindex.org/add always works without one.

1. Overcast auto-discovers shows already listed in Apple Podcasts — submit to Apple first.
2. If it still hasn't appeared after a day, submit your RSS feed URL at overcast.fm/podcasterinfo.

Fastest path is to be on Apple Podcasts first — Overcast ingests from there automatically.

1. Go to pocketcasts.com/submit.
2. Paste your RSS feed URL and submit — no account required.

3. Submit and wait for moderation — a moderator emails you if the show is refused.

RSS-only: Yandex never accepts uploaded audio. It reads the feed and picks up new episodes itself, so nothing is resubmitted per episode. Requires spoken-word content (no DJ sets or music mixes) and 40 kbps or better — our episodes are 128 kbps mono, comfortably clear. Main audience is RU/CIS.
