Why isn't my podcast showing up in Spotify?

This guide helps you troubleshoot why your podcast isn’t showing on Spotify

1. A PodUp podcast might not show on Spotify due to common issues with distribution settings or RSS feed metadata. Here are the most likely reasons:

2. Distribution Not Activated: Ensure that Spotify integration is enabled in your PodUp account. Simply publishing your podcast on PodUp does not automatically distribute it to Spotify; you must activate the Spotify integration within PodUp.

3. RSS Feed Issues: Missing mandatory details (such as cover art, description, episode titles, or language) or broken formatting in your RSS feed may prevent Spotify from listing your podcast

4. Content Guidelines: If your podcast contains prohibited or sensitive content or violates Spotify's policies, Spotify may block or delay publication without warning.

5. Processing Delay: If recently submitted, podcasts may take several hours—sometimes up to 24–48 hours to appear on Spotify while their system processes and indexes your content.

6. Technical Errors and Cache Problems: Occasionally, display issues are due to local cache problems or device-specific quirks. Clearing the "Cache" of the browser, or logging out, may help confirm if it’s a local issue.
