Podcast syndication means registering your RSS feed once with listening apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify so new episodes show up automatically. Apps check your feed anywhere from every 30 minutes to once a day. Poditize handles this for you.
What does podcast syndication mean and what does it mean to actually syndicate your show? What that means is actually registering your show with each different listening app that you want to, so that when you publish an episode, it will then be available on each of those listening apps. So syndicating your show needs to happen only one time for each different listening app, such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Google Podcasts, etc. There are literally dozens, and there's always new ones that are coming out that are distributing podcasts to listeners. And you can syndicate or make your show available on any different listening apps you want to. Most podcast hosting platforms have you do that yourself. They give you the information, the tools to do really means taking your RSS feed and registering it with each app. And if you don't know what an RSS feed is, there's a different resource video here on the politicized knowledge base for you to do that or to learn what that is. But it's the mechanism that you're shows get, you know, delivered to listening apps. Just in short.
So syndicating just means to register your show the first time. And once that's done, every time you publish an episode on your podcast hosting platform, like Poditize, each listening app checks for new episodes of your podcast. Some of them constantly, like every half an hour of the day or once an hour, and sometimes a couple times a day. Some of them will only check once a day, but when they do, they'll get your latest episode and make it available in their listening app. So the idea is you syndicate to each different app once, and then every time you publish an episode, it will automatically end up on every different listening app. Now, at Potatoes, we syndicate for you. So when you're ready and you have at least one episode published, you just let us know you're ready to be syndicated. And we syndicate you to all the major listening apps. And if there's any new ones that come on the scene and you want to be syndicated there, you just have to reach out to our help team and request it. So that's about it for syndication. Hope that's clear. And check out all the other great resource topics we have here on our knowledge base at Potato.
