How Apple Podcasts works for podcasts
You submit your RSS feed in Apple Podcasts Connect. Apple checks the feed and the files, then lists the show in its directory.
What to prepare
Before you publish:
- Check your feed passes Apple's validation.
- Provide the required artwork and show details.
- Upload at least a trailer and a first episode.
- Keep metadata consistent across episodes.
Who listens and how
Apple's audio requirements recommend about −16 LKFS ±1 and true peaks no higher than −1 dB, and list bitrates by channel count. These can change, so check the current page before you submit; the Apple requirements guide lists them with a source.
What radio.app delivers
We deliver files mastered to those targets and named consistently, so the numbers you need are met before submission. We do not host or submit on your behalf. See the production process.
