How Spotify works for podcasts
A podcast reaches Spotify through your hosting provider's RSS feed. Spotify then reads your artwork, title, description and episodes from that feed.
What to prepare
Before you publish:
- Choose a host that provides an RSS feed.
- Prepare square cover artwork and a clear show description.
- Submit the feed once to Spotify for Creators.
- Add episode titles and descriptions that name the topic.
Who listens and how
Spotify says it normalises loudness during playback to around −14 LUFS. A master delivered at about −16 LUFS with peaks below −1 dBTP leaves headroom for that change. The loudness guide explains the numbers and cites Spotify's page.
What radio.app delivers
We deliver a finished file mastered to −16 LUFS ±1 and a true peak no higher than −1 dBTP, in the format agreed in your quote. You or your host publish it; we do not host. See the production process.
