Twenty directories, one wall. A pre-flight that catches what would get you rejected, guided submissions that tell the truth about each platform, and an hourly watcher that spots your listing the moment it appears.
20 directories · Hourly listing checks · No plan gating
Every directory has its own portal, its own idea of ownership, and its own silence afterwards. Spotify sends no confirmation email. Amazon won't tell you when you're live. Pandora takes four to six weeks and reviews you editorially. So you keep a spreadsheet, and you keep searching your own show's name.
PodcasterPlus turns that into a monitored process — with the awkward truths written down.
One directory we submit to for you. Twelve we walk you through, step by step, at their own portal. Seven that arrive on their own once a covering directory confirms.
You submit at each platform's portal — we walk you through the tricky steps, and tell you what each platform will and won't do afterwards.
Plus iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Player FM, Podcast Addict and Castbox — twelve guided platforms in all.
Submission readiness checks the ten things directories actually reject feeds for — a missing category, no owner email, non-MP3 audio — and links each failing item straight to its fix. Submit buttons stay disabled until the blockers clear, so you never spend a week waiting on a rejection you could have seen.
You submit at each platform's portal — that part can't be faked, and we don't pretend otherwise. What we do is stand next to you: numbered steps, the portal one click away, and the copy-the-feed-URL or verification tool right where the step needs it. Pick a platform.
Plus YouTube Music, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Deezer, Pocket Casts, Player FM, Podcast Addict and Castbox — twelve guided platforms in all.
An hourly monitor checks Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Podcast Index for you. An exact feed-URL match confirms itself. A near-match on Spotify comes to you as a question — confirm it, or say it isn't yours and it's never suggested again.
Then the good bit: a "Live on Spotify!" notification, and a Listed on a directory trigger fired into your automations — so going live can email the team, post a webhook, or start any workflow you've built.
Spotify doesn't publish the feed URL behind a show, so we can't be certain. Say the word and we'll mark it listed — say it isn't yours and we won't ask again.
Your show is issued a permanent podcast GUID the day it's created — the Podcasting 2.0 identifier that survives moving hosts, so directories recognise you as you.
Directories are rented. These aren't — and they're both live from day one, on every plan.
One player, two embeds: this episode, or always-the-newest. It renders inside your page rather than an iframe, so it follows your visitors' zoom and contrast settings — and the whole-show embed updates itself forever after one paste.
Every show gets a public listen site at listen.podcasterplus.com/your-show — brand-coloured, indexable, with a "Listen on" row that grows itself as your listings are confirmed. One link that works for every listener.
Explore the listen site →"I went from a Sunday-night dread of show notes to a Tuesday-morning twenty minutes. That's a real day of my life back, every week."
"We replaced Calendly, Buzzsprout, three Notion templates, and a Zapier graveyard with one tab. Our producer cried, in the good way."
"Booking links are the polite version of stalking your guest's calendar. Mine has booked 41 episodes without a single email back-and-forth."
Every directory, the readiness checks, the hourly watcher, the feed, the player and the listen site are on every plan — Free included. Paid plans buy you volume, seats and automation headroom, not the right to be found.

Kick the tires before you commit. Two lifetime episodes, the full feature surface. Two lifetime episodes, one seat, one booking link, three automation rules. Upgrade only when you outgrow it.
No — and nobody honestly can. Podcast Index is the only directory with an open write API, so that one is a genuine one-click submit. For the other twelve you submit at the platform's own portal; we do the pre-flight, hand you the feed URL and verification tools inline, tell you what to expect, and watch for the listing afterwards.
It depends on the platform, and we say so on each card rather than averaging it into a promise. Podcast Index is usually minutes. Apple review normally takes 1–3 days, with search indexing up to 24 hours after approval. Spotify is often hours and sends no confirmation email. Pandora reviews editorially and takes 4–6 weeks.
No. Every directory card has "Already listed? Paste your link" — drop in your existing show URL and it counts as listed, appears on your listen page, and the monitor stops looking for it.
An hourly monitor checks Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Podcast Index. An exact feed-URL match confirms itself. Spotify doesn't expose feed URLs, so a close title match is surfaced as an "Is this your show?" card instead of being assumed — confirm it, or mark it not yours and that match is never suggested again.
Only when you choose. Your owner email is hidden from the public feed by default. Platforms that email a verification code need it visible, so you open a 24-hour window from the submission panel and it closes on its own afterwards.
It's the Podcasting 2.0 identifier assigned to your show once, for life. It survives moving hosts and changing feed URLs, which is how directories keep recognising your show as the same show. Yours is in the Feed & identity card from the day the podcast is created.
All of them, Free included — every directory, the readiness checks, the hourly watcher, your feed, the embeddable player and the public listen site. Paid plans buy episode volume, seats and automation headroom, not the right to be found.
Start on Free — no card. Bring an existing feed and keep your listings, or submit for the first time with someone watching the portals for you.
