Use this guide to submit your new podcast to Google Podcasts.
Before You Start - Preparing
To submit to Google Podcasts you will need to have:
Created a show and published at least one episode to your podcast
Access to your Zencastr RSS Feed
Access to the email associated with your podcast
1. Submit RSS Feed to Google Podcasts
Open Google Podcasts Manager.
Click Start Now.
Paste your Zencastr RSS Feed in the “Enter a Podcast Feed URL” field.
Click Next Step.
Review your podcast details in the ‘Confirm your selection’ section.
Click Next Step.
2. Verify Ownership
Next, you will verify ownership of the podcast in one of two ways.
If your podcast email matches the Google account you are signed into, verification is automatic.
If your podcast email does not match the Google account you are signed into:
Click Send Code in the ‘Send Verification Code’ section.
Open your email client (e.g. Gmail, Outlook).

Paste the code in the ‘Enter Code’ field.
