Set up Outputs
Navigate to Content > Channels. Under Podcasts, we have (4) channels to publish to:
- Apple Podcasts

NOTE: If you would carry over additional metadata for Stitcher and Spotify, utilize the Feed URLs for either Apple or Google.
After entering your podcast Metadata, select the button, such as Spotify,’ under Developer Access, which will direct you externally to sign into your podcast account.
Once connected, copy the feed URL and paste it into your podcast accounts.
For Spotify, simply enter in the podcast submission form. For Apple, paste in your Podcast Connect account. In Google, you will also have a paste feed URL as well as the homepage URL.
Once the feed URL is linked, your curated podcasts will automatically upload and update on each podcast platform.
