Share your podcast on one of the biggest players in audio!
RedCircle makes it easy for you to take advantage of Spotify’s large audience by making the process a breeze.
Before we begin, be sure that your podcast is fully migrated to RedCircle if you’re moving over from a different host.
If this podcast is brand new, then be sure to have at least one (1) podcast episode published. Spotify requires published and findable episodes in order to be present on its platform.

Already Distributing to Spotify
If you moved your podcast over from another hosting platform to RedCircle, then you may have already set up distribution to Spotify. If that’s the case, then there are a few extra steps that need to be taken to ensure the distribution of your show is updated properly!
These steps are also outlined on the Distribution page underneath the I’m already on Spotify tab.
1. Claim your podcast on Spotify for Creators
The first step in this process is to claim your show on Spotify for Creators. You'll need to log in to or sign up for a Spotify account. Once logged in, click on your profile picture located near the top-right side of the page and select "Add a new show":
Be sure to click "Find an existing podcast":
Do not click "Create a new show" as that creates a duplicate version of your podcast!
Nex you'll be asked where you host your podcast. Click the "Somewhere else" option"
The next step is to paste your RedCircle RSS Feed into the provided text box:
Spotify may recognize that your show is already available on their platform. Just continue to follow the on-screen instructions.
If your podcast is found, they should prompt you with a similar question as below:
They'll ask you to verify ownership by providing the code that's sent to the listed email address:
Spotify pulls this email address directly from your RedCircle RSS Feed. If you need to update it, then you can change the contact email in your Podcast Settings. See this Help Article for more information.
Add the code once it's received:
Follow the on-screen instructions and click Submit when you're done.
2. Updating Your Podcast Host on Spotify
The next step after successfully claiming your show on Spotify is to update the hosting provider on Spotify’s dashboard.
- Go to your podcast’s page on Spotify for Creators
- Select the Settings from the menu on the left:
- Check to see if the “hosting provider” value says either RedCircle or SeedCast (which is our previous name.)
- If the value is not either of the above, then click Update and re-enter your RedCircle RSS Feed. Make sure to select RedCircle (or Seedcast) from the hosting provider drop-down if prompted.
- If you’re not prompted to switch your host, then you need to contact Spotify’s Support to request the change.
