How to Submit Your Podcast to TuneIn: 5 Steps

Listing your show in podcast directories like Spotify, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), and Google Podcasts is essential to successful podcasting, but don't stop there.

We suggest you list your podcast feed to those major outlets first, but once you've done that, take the time to submit your show to other directories your listeners might be using.

TuneIn is an audio streaming service for podcasts, radio stations, music, news, and sports.

Keep in mind, a lot of podcast listeners have Androids, not iPhones. Podcasters should submit their podcasts to Android-friendly apps their non-iPhone-users can easily download on Google Play.
