Reach every app your listeners already use
Your show has to be in the apps people actually open. Jetpack lists every major directory with your feed URL ready to submit, and once a directory accepts your show, each new episode arrives through the feed on its own.
- Submit to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music
- Get listed in the open Podcast Index, which feeds Fountain, Podverse, and dozens of independent apps
- Work with any app that reads a podcast RSS feed
- Publish an episode and every directory picks it up on its own
Get your show online in minutes
Podcast is part of Jetpack, not another service to sign up for. Set your show up once, pick the category your episodes live in, and from then on publishing an episode is publishing a post.
- Turn Podcast on in Jetpack and fill in your show title, description, and hosts
- Upload your cover art and pick the category your episodes belong to
- Write the post, add your audio with the Audio block, and publish
- Your feed updates itself, so there is nothing to re-upload anywhere else
Your podcast, your website, your newsletter
A podcast host gives you a feed and a player. Jetpack gives you those, plus the website your episodes live on and the newsletter that tells your subscribers about them.
Your feed, your domain
Jetpack builds your podcast feed from your own site and serves your audio from your own media library, so your show keeps its address and the files, the listeners, and the download numbers stay with you.
Every episode is a post
An episode is an ordinary WordPress post in the category you pick. It lands on your blog with its show notes, can go out through Jetpack Newsletter, and can reach readers in the WordPress.com Reader.

Set up Jetpack Podcast, then ask your current host to redirect your old feed to the new one. Most apps follow the redirect, so your listeners stay subscribed and your back catalogue moves across as posts.
