Reach every app your listeners already use
The Distribution tab lists every major directory with your feed URL ready to go, so submitting is a click through to each platform. Once a directory accepts your show, new episodes flow through the feed on their own.
- Submit to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Pocket Casts
- Reach listeners on YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and Podcast Index
- Works with any app that reads an RSS feed
- Publish an episode and every directory picks it up automatically
Turn it on and publish your first episode
Podcast is part of Jetpack, not another service to sign up for. Set your show up once and pick a category — from then on, every post you publish in that category becomes an episode.
- Active by default on new Jetpack installs
- On an existing site, switch it on in Jetpack → My Jetpack → Modules
- Set your show title, description, subtitle, and host names
- Upload cover art between 1400×1400 and 3000×3000 pixels
- Add your audio with the Audio block and hit publish
Own the show, not just the episodes
On a closed platform your podcast lives at their address, on their terms. With Jetpack it lives at yours.
Your feed, your domain
Jetpack serves your podcast feed from your own site, so your show keeps its address and you keep the content, the data, and the relationship with your listeners.
Every episode is a post
Episodes are ordinary WordPress posts in the category you choose, so each one lands on your blog with its show notes, can go out through Jetpack Newsletter, and can surface in the WordPress.com Reader.
Explore Jetpack NewsletterBring a show you already publish
Set up Jetpack Podcast, then ask your current host to redirect your old feed. Most apps follow the redirect automatically, so your listeners stay subscribed.
