Submit your podcast to Apple Podcasts
If you want people to be able to listen to your podcast through Apple Podcasts, you will need to manually register your podcast with Apple. You can go through this process in a few easy steps.
You will need an Apple ID in order to submit your podcast to Apple Podcasts. If you only have a private Apple ID account and want to host a business podcast that you're working on with multiple people, we recommend that you create a separate Apple ID.
