directories

You’ve recorded your first few episodes, edited them, and added your intros and outros.

You’ve finished the hard part and you are probably feeling incredibly excited - as you should be!

The next step is publishing your podcast to a podcast directory, so listeners and subscribers can find it. 

Getting your show onto directories such as Spotify or Apple Podcasts requires you to have an RSS feed.

In fact, your RSS feed is an essential part of getting your show out there.

How do you go about doing this?

You must first choose and submit your show to a hosting service. 

Let’s dive into what this entails.

Today's link building 101 best practices involve building links for humans, not for search engines. That's why we take a content marketing approach to link building in all that we do.

Show Notes For Episode 3

Where can your podcast be found? Inspired by a tweet I made about not worrying about being on Spotify, we discuss their impact on podcasting and podcast discovery.

I found someone doing well on Spotify and so we talk about how much that really matters as it pertains to all platforms. In fact we talk about being featured on any platform and how much difference it makes for your show being "discovered." What about the stats? Will your podcast grow to amazing numbers once you're finally featured on the front page of iTunes/Apple Podcasts!? Probably not but let's find out why.

Join Ray, Daniel, Dave, and David Kadavy to discuss the places people find your podcast...or don't;)

I wanted to provide you with a quick update.  The Podcast Digest is now available on Tune In Radio, Stitcher, and the Windows Phone store.  The show has also been accepted to Itunes and Pocketcasts, although propogation is taking a bit longer with those.  I've been told they should be visible and searchable by the end of the week.

So far Twitter (@poddigest) has been the most active place for folks engaging with me on the show!  Thank you to all of you who have been supportive and helpful with some of my crazy questions.

I've begun my outline for Episode 2 and will be recording this weekend.  Hopefull all of the directories will have me fully updated and everyone who would like to listen can find The Podcast Digest easily!

00:00:00 - Whats the best way to look inside a mouse? Finely-tuned laser-excitable nanotubes of course! Ben has more in the way of explanations, but Ryan brings the analogies.

00:16:15 - Ben also has something weird to drink but he recommended it to all. Ben also brings his PaleoPOW to bear early with a voicemail from Anthony in AUS concerning som Vostok Space Beer. Charlie is calling back to an oldie but a goodie. And Ryan has a beer themed to go with our transition into...

00:25:19 -Trailer Trash Talk which is renewing it's lease in the show by reexplaining it's origins and purpose. Then we talk about Transformers: Dark of the Moon and why this trailer gets the science wrong within the first frames.

00:36:00 - Humans evolved eyes and the neurons to go with them, but sometimes people have eyes that don't work. A new study shows that clicking your way around the world actually involves processing in the visual cortex, therefor Batman just became that much more plausible.

00:52:37 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like transformers, they're hard to coordinate and you remember them as being better than they actually are. First off we say thanks to all those in the armed forces. And a special thanks to James H. who left some kind words on the Facebook Page. NOTE: We recorded this close to Memorial Day even if came out a week late. Next, it turns out we've been reviewed by Podcast Squared, who said mostly good things but also had some criticisms worth discussing. Self reflection is always riveting stuff!
