Trying to connect a podcast to spotify
-
I followed the instructions for connecting my podcast to Spotify, but it doesn’t appear and they say that ‘We took a look backstage and can see that there aren’t any live episodes associated to your podcast. We were also able to see that there aren’t any episodes with audio within the feed.’
Is there some special trick in the post formatting?

Hi there,
A podcast feed will only work if you have audio files embedded in your posts.
You have https://lawyernovelist.wordpress.com/category/passenger-seat/ set as your podcast category, but none of the posts in that category have audio files embedded in them. They’re linking to audio files on Google Drive, but that’s not the same thing as embedding.
To embed an audio file you need the link for the actual audio file ending in .wav or .mp3, or another compatible audio file format. If you paste such a link on a new line in your post it will then embed an audio player that allows someone to play the audio file directly from the post.
It’s not possible to use Google Drive to embed an audio file like this, because Google Drive does not give a direct link to the file. So you’ll either need to upload the file to a service like SoundCloud that does, or on our Personal Plan and upwards you can upload audio files directly to the media library.
