Got questions? We have answers.

Does my show appear in Apple Podcasts and Spotify?

Yes, plus Pocket Casts, Overcast, Fountain, Castro, and every other app that pulls from Podcast Index. We auto-submit your feed to Podcast Index on publish so independent apps pick you up alongside the major platforms.

How quickly can I publish my first episode?

Set up your show once: title, cover, hosts, and categories. Every new episode is a few fields, your audio, and a publish button. You can go from upload to live on Apple Podcasts in under ten minutes.

What does it cost?

Free to start. You’ll get basic podcasting functionality, but will need to host your audio on another site. Upgrade to a Premium plan for all podcasting features and to host your audio with WordPress.com.

Can I import my podcast from Substack, Buzzsprout, or Spotify for Creators?

Yes. The redirect-and-keep approach works whether you’re on Substack, Buzzsprout, or Spotify for Creators — point your existing podcast feed at WordPress.com and your subscribers in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and Overcast follow within a few hours. Your back-catalog episodes move over as new posts, and keeping your old feed live for four weeks gives apps time to update.

Can I bring my existing RSS feed without losing subscribers?

Yes. Redirect your existing feed and your subscribers in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and Overcast follow within a few hours. Your back-catalog episodes move over as new posts on WordPress.com, so keep your old feed live for four weeks while apps update.

How does podcast hosting on WordPress.com compare to Substack, Buzzsprout, or Spotify for Creators?

Substack and Spotify for Creators bundle a podcast feed with their own platform — your show lives on their domain. Buzzsprout is a dedicated podcast host but doesn’t include a blog or newsletter. WordPress.com hosts your podcast, blog, and newsletter on your own domain, with stats and subscribers in one place.
