A podcast is distributed as an RSS feed, a small XML file that lists your show and its episodes. Podcast apps and directories read this file to show your show, its artwork and its episodes.
Your feed is generated automatically and always shows the latest episodes. Every episode in it carries the audio file, its length and its duration.
On the Configure XML Feed page, pick your podcast and set the feed language, owner, copyright and keywords. Press Generate Feed to save the settings and write a static copy of the feed. You can then copy the dynamic or the static link.
Copy your feed link and submit it to the directories: Apple Podcasts (Podcasts Connect), Spotify for Creators, Amazon Music and others.

The admin page shows all podcasts, authors and episodes, and the storage used. An admin can rename an author, delete a single episode, delete all episodes of an author, delete a whole podcast, or delete an author and all of their data.
