Spotify failed to load Apple Podcast URL

Hi!


My 2 first questions here, because I've been searching around 2 days for a solution to this issue, still without an answer.


  1. I registered with Apple Podcaster Program, uploaded my 2 episodes, and thought that I can share it onto Spotify. However, Spotify kept notifying me that "Your RSS feed failed to load. Make sure you added the right link." (image 1) How can I distribute my Apple Podcast on Spotify?

  1. There's a note of requirement beside my podcast channel description on Edge browser version 101.0.1210.53 (Official build) (64-bit), and I can't play my episodes. (image 2)

Some channels I find which hosted on other platforms, like PodBean, SimpleCast, can play immediately. Why is that?


Could you guys spare some minutes to answer me? I'd appreciate it.


To the forum administrators: I couldn't find Apple Podcast topics, if these questions don't suit iTunes for Windows topics, please move it somewhere else.

The URL you appear to be trying to submit to Spotify is the Apple Podcasts page, leading to a web preview page and then to the Apple Podcasts app page. It is not a feed. Thie feed is a text file in XML format. If you constructed your podcast away from Apple in a method which produced a feed which you then submitted to Podcasts Connect, then that is the URL you should be submitting to Spotify.


However as you say you have registered with the Apple Podcasts program, may have constructed your podcast directly in Podcasts Connect, submitting your episodes there. In this case there is nothing you can submit to Spotify. If you want your podcast to appear there you will have to start from scratch and construct your podcast anew in Spotify (I am not familiar with it but I assume you can do this), or use another method to construct a feed and then submit that to Spotify.

These services produce a feed. Apple does not.
