How to Publish Your Podcast to Popular Platforms
Your EchoPod AI-generated podcast is ready to share with the world. Follow this simple guide to publish your podcast on major platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify so listeners can discover and enjoy your content.
Understanding RSS Feeds
An RSS feed is the technology that powers podcast distribution. Think of it as a special link that contains all your podcast information and automatically updates when you add new episodes.
EchoPod automatically creates and hosts your RSS feed — you don't need to worry about the technical details. All you need to do is submit this feed URL to podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Pro Tip: Once your podcast is approved on Apple Podcasts, many smaller directories will automatically add your show to their catalog since they pull data from Apple's directory.
Direct Sharing
Share Your RSS Feed URL Directly
Direct Subscription Options
Many podcast apps allow listeners to subscribe directly using your RSS feed URL. This is useful for sharing your podcast with a specific audience without publishing it to major platforms.
Popular apps that support direct RSS feeds:
Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Castro, and many others
How listeners can use your RSS feed:
Subscribers simply need to copy your RSS URL, open their podcast app of choice, find the "Add by URL" option (usually in the search or library section), and paste your RSS URL.
Where to find your RSS Feed URL: Your unique RSS feed URL can be found in your EchoPod dashboard under the "Publish" tab. You can copy this link and share it directly with your audience.
