Hosting determines where your podcast lives, but broadcasting determines where people listen. All you do is copy the RSS feed link from your host. Then you can paste it into as many podcast aggregation sites as you want, and they will play your show!
Apps like Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, or Amazon Music etc. will offer your show on their platform.
In the image above, the data is sent back to Podbean via RSS feed too.
Fine Print
Spotify will host video, but RSS feeds generally distribute audio only. That’s fine—most podcast listeners expect audio.
If you need to edit an episode after publishing, then upload a new version to your host. The new file will replace the old one across platforms.
Your Show is Playing, Now What
Well, you can sit back and relax. Focus on finding your next show topic or person to have on your show.
Get it Out There
Now that you have the show, you can also create some buzz around it. Be sure to mention that you have a Podcast so people know about it. The easiest way to do this is to mention it to potential guests on your show.
REELS
When you use Riverside or Descript, they automatically generate 1-minute reels for you. You can download these and share them on Social Media. While you are at it you can start social media pages for your show. It won’t hurt!
Write About Your Show
Another way to get the news out is to write about your show. A simple way to do this is to use the Newsletter function on LinkedIn. If that is not your vibe, then create a blog on WordPress.com or a Newsletter on something like Substack or Ghost. These are good places to paste your show notes and your transcripts. They also provide a vehicle for releasing paid content after you get the show off the ground.
Are you Game?
Speaking of sharing your show, I would like to introduce my Podcast. GAMELAYER is a series of personal interviews. I interview a wide variety of professionals who have used Gamification both inside and outside of the learning industry. Season 1 opens asking, “What is Play?” “What are Games and why do we love them?” Season 2 is widening to the Game of the Entrepreneur.
