Distributing your show across multiple platforms is the best way to build your audience.
You may already have this in hand, but for ease, we’ve put together a list of platforms we recommend you should be on.
Apple Podcasts
To submit your podcast feed to Apple, all you need is an Apple ID and password. You can then submit your Megaphone RSS feed to Apple here. For more information, Apple have created a guide on how to submit a show on their platform here.
Spotify
You can access the submission portal with an analytics dashboard here. If you are on Sport Social, be sure to mark ‘Megaphone’ as your hosting provider upon submission.
Amazon Music & Audible
Unsurprisingly, Alexa and Amazon products are one of the fastest-growing ways to listen to podcasts. You can submit your podcast here.
iHeart Radio
iHeartRadio is an American freemium broadcast, podcast and radio streaming platform owned by iHeartMedia. It creates stations for your show that are accessible online or on their app. iHeart accepts podcast submissions here.
Tune In
TuneIn powers the Alexa skill for podcasts and is becoming increasingly important.
Submit your show here.
Important Note
Acceptance into directories such as Apple can take up to 1 week, so we recommend submitting your podcast one week prior to when you want your episodes to be live. Apple does allow you to "hide" and "unhide" your podcast via their Podcast Connect portal, but others do not. Many publishers submit to Apple one week in advance, and other apps only 48 hours in advance to prevent a show appearing live before the desired date.
