Apple Podcasts

Where podcasting all started—Apple!

Not only is Apple Podcasts the number 1 podcast directory in the world, it's also the industry standard for RSS formatting and guidelines. Needless to say, you'll want to get your show listed here right away.

Below you will find instructions to get your show listed on Apple Podcasts.

Step 1 — Enter all required information directory

Before submitting your show to Apple Podcasts, please enter all required information within your Fusebox Show Settings. This includes...

**If you entered your directory details and/or published your first episode, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before attempting to get your podcast listed on Apple Podcasts.**

Step 2 — Submit your show to Apple Podcasts

Your access to Apple Podcasts Connect is powered by your Apple ID. If you do not have an Apple ID, you can learn how to do that here.
