If you host your podcast with Resonate and have an episode that does not need post-production services and is ready to go live on your RSS feed, you can follow the steps below.

1. Log in to your Resonate account.
​

2. From the overview page, click the “Create Episode” button

3. Fill out all of the Episode Detail information.

  • Title (Episode title that will show up in all directories)

  • Season (Season Number)

  • Number (Episode Number)

  • Type (Episode Type - Full, Bonus, or Trailer)

  • Description (Episode description or summary)

  • Check the "This episode contains explicit content" if needed

  • Select the Episode Publish Date (When do you want your episode to go live?)

  • Select your Episode Audio (Select Choose File and wait for the file to upload)

4. Select “Episode is ready to publish” and upload your episode file.

5. Click “Publish Episode”
​

If you are posting an episode from an episode master, follow the steps in this article.

Each podcast directory has an independent refresh cycle that will determine when your episode will show up in that particular directory. Though you selected a specific publish date and time in your Resonate account, this is not the exact time that the episode will show up in each directory. If you need to share your episode at a specific time, we recommend you point your listeners to your Resonate microsite or embed the media player on your website. In our experience, episodes usually show up on Spotify the soonest, and Apple can typically take the longest. We recommend allowing at least 3–4 hours for your episode to show up in all directories from the time it was posted from your Resonate account.

If your episode is still not showing up in a particular directory after 4 hours from the post time in Resonate, we recommend you reach out to that specific directory for support using the contacts below:
