How to Publish a Podcast or Episode?

To make your podcast available to listeners, certain criteria must be met. The publishing process is separate for podcasts and episodes and must be done in order.

First, Publish an Episode

A podcast cannot be published unless it has at least one published episode. Therefore, your first step is to publish an episode.

✅ Requirements to publish an episode:

  • A cover image must be uploaded
  • The media file (mp3) must be uploaded

Once these are done, go to the episode’s "Episode Info" tab and click the Publish button under the Manage section.


📢 Requirements to Publish a Podcast

To publish a podcast, you need to provide the following:

  • At least one language
  • At least one publisher
  • At least one category (and optionally subcategories)
  • At least one tag
  • Cover image must be uploaded

Once everything is complete, visit the "Manage" section in the podcast detail page and click Publish to make it live.


🔁 Publishing Order

  1. Create and publish an episode first.
  2. Complete your podcast information.
  3. Then, publish the podcast.

If anything is missing, you’ll see guidance under the Manage area with specific details on what needs to be fixed before you can publish.
