Building a real show? Skip the re-upload dance.
This tool gives you a snapshot. Every new episode means editing the XML, re-uploading, and hoping the cache clears. Fluxeta's podcast module regenerates the feed at the same URL on every publish — Apple and Spotify pick up new episodes automatically. Plus a website, email list, and INR memberships on top.

What is a podcast RSS feed?
A podcast RSS feed is an XML file that lists every episode of a show. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast and every other podcast app read this file to know what episodes to show your subscribers and when to fetch new ones. You submit the URL of the feed once to each directory, and every future episode is picked up automatically.
Do Apple Podcasts and Spotify accept feeds from this tool?
Yes, when you host the generated XML at a public HTTPS URL. The generator emits RSS 2.0 with the itunes: (Apple) and content: (Google / Spotify description) namespaces, per-episode enclosure with type=audio/mpeg, itunes:duration, itunes:episode, itunes:season, itunes:explicit and per-episode itunes:image. That's the full tag set both directories require.
Where do I host the audio files and the RSS XML?
Audio files (MP3) can live on any host that serves them over HTTPS with the right MIME type. S3, Cloudflare R2, Buzzsprout, Transistor, Libsyn all work. The RSS XML itself is a small text file. Upload it anywhere with public HTTPS access, or paste it into a GitHub Pages / Netlify / Vercel site. If you'd rather not manage either, Fluxeta generates and serves the feed for you from your custom domain.
Does the generated feed update automatically when I add new episodes?
No. This tool produces a one-shot snapshot. Every time you add or change an episode, you regenerate the XML and re-upload. That's fine for launching a podcast. It gets painful once you're publishing weekly. That's what Fluxeta's hosted podcast module solves — the feed is regenerated on every publish, at the same URL, with cache-busting handled.
How do I submit the feed to Apple Podcasts and Spotify?
Apple: sign in at podcastsconnect.apple.com, click New Show, paste your feed URL, submit for review. Approval usually takes 24 to 72 hours. Spotify: sign in at podcasters.spotify.com, click "Add or claim a show", paste the same feed URL. Spotify is typically faster, sometimes a few hours. You only submit once. Every future episode gets fetched from the feed automatically.
Do I need a paid Apple Podcasts or Spotify account?
No. Both podcastsconnect.apple.com and podcasters.spotify.com are free for the show owner. Apple takes a cut only if you enable Apple Podcasts Subscriptions on top. Spotify is free end-to-end for the show owner (they monetize through platform ads).
