Get Subwave: iOS · Android · Web
Getting your podcast onto Spotify takes about five minutes with Subwave.
Step 1: Get your Spotify-specific RSS feed
- Spotify doesn't use the same RSS feed as Apple Podcasts, Subwave gives you a dedicated Spotify feed URL
- Go to your Subwave account, open Settings, find the channel you want to distribute
- Click Manage, then copy the Spotify feed URL
Step 2: Submit it to Spotify for Creators
- Don't have a Spotify for Creators account yet? Sign in or create one here first
- Paste your RSS URL into Spotify's "Find an existing show using RSS" field
- All your episodes import automatically from there
Step 3: Use Shorts to cover the video gap
Spotify plays your show as audio through the RSS feed, it doesn't pull in your video files directly. Subwave's auto-generated clips fill that gap:
- Every time you upload a long-form episode, Subwave generates short video clips, a transcript, subtitles, and show notes
- Download those clips, then go to your show's Episodes page on Spotify for Creators
- Click the three dots next to the episode, select Upload a Clip, and add the video file
Your full audio episode lives on Spotify through the feed, and the clips give listeners a video hook they can actually watch inside the app.
