The Complete Podcast Directory List For 2023

video podcasting

One of the keys to getting more listeners for your podcast fanbase is visibility. 

The more places people can find your show, the more likely it is that you’ll gain new listeners and fans. 

Submitting your podcast to the major directories can put your show in front of millions of new listeners.

For all podcast directories, you’ll need your podcast’s RSS feed. If you don’t have one, you can quickly create a podcast RSS feed here.

Once you have your show’s RSS feed, copy it to your clipboard, Word, or Notepad. Some directories will ask for your show’s title, description, and the email address associated with your podcast so you’ll want to have that ready as well.

Submit Your Podcast to the Most Popular Podcast Directories

1. Apple Podcasts: We recommend adding your show to this directory first because it can take the longest to be approved. You’ll need an Apple ID before you can submit your podcast for review.

2. Google Podcasts: Once you login with a Gmail account, you can visit the Google Play Podcast Portal, and click the button that says “ADD A PODCAST.” Follow the prompts, and then wait for your show to be reviewed. This can take as little as 24 hours, or up to a week.

3. Spotify: Create an account, link your RSS feed, and wait for approval. This can take up to five days. IMPORTANT – you need to have uploaded at least one episode to your podcast host. Until you do so, Spotify will not be able to find any episodes and will reject your feed.

4. Samsung Podcasts: To have your show included in the Samsung Podcast app, create a free account at Samsung Podcasts, add your Podcast RSS feed, validate, then submit your podcast for inclusion in the app.

5. Stitcher: Create a content provider profile, click “Add Show,” add your RSS Feed and show details. Then, submit and wait for approval.

6. TuneIn (Also adds your podcast to Amazon Alexa): Go to their email submission form, fill it out, and hit “SEND EMAIL.” At the risk of sounding like a broken record, you’ll then wait for approval.

7. Head on over to the Podcasters page on iHeartRadio.com and click the “Submit Your Podcast” button. From here, you’ll need to either log in or create an account.

8. Pandora For Podcasters. Use your Pandora account to log in and submit your podcast. If you don’t have an account with Pandora, you can register for free here.

9. Once you arrive at podcaster.deezer.com, hit the “Publish My Podcast” button. Enter your podcast’s RSS Feed and click the “NEXT” button. At this point, you will receive a confirmation email from Deezer with a verification code.

10. To submit your show to Amazon Music and Audible, go to to Podcasters.Amazon.com and click “Get Started.” Sign in with your Amazon account, add your podcast RSS feed, and confirm your show.

Do You Have Multiple Podcasts?

If you have multiple shows, you will need to add each of your RSS Feeds to each directory. Some directories are set up for multiple podcast submissions, but others may require you have separate accounts for each individual RSS Feed.
