Episode 6 — Publishing Your Podcast: From File to Platform

An episode isn’t real until it’s published.

In Episode 6 of Podcasting on Podcasting with Coach AV Tech, we break down how a finished audio file becomes a real podcast episode that listeners can actually find. This episode focuses on publishing fundamentals—without jargon, overwhelm, or unnecessary tech talk.

You’ll learn what podcast publishing really means, how hosting platforms work, and how an RSS feed distributes your podcast to major listening platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. Instead of uploading your show everywhere manually, you’ll understand how uploading once through a publishing platform allows your podcast to update everywhere automatically.

This episode also compares podcast hosting platforms from beginner to professional, helping creators choose the right option based on where they are now—not where they think they should be. Whether you’re just starting with Spotify for Creators or considering more advanced hosting platforms as your show grows, this episode gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What “publishing” actually includes (and what it doesn’t)

• How podcast hosting platforms work

• What an RSS feed is in plain language

• How your podcast reaches Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music

• Beginner, budget, and professional hosting platform options

• Common publishing mistakes and how to avoid them

• Why pressing publish matters more than waiting for perfection

This episode is designed for beginners, students, educators, and creators who want to stop overthinking the process and start podcasting consistently.

• Upload once.
  
• Let your RSS feed do the work.
  
• Turn your podcast into something people can actually hear.
