The problem it solves

Publishing a podcast episode usually means uploading the file, editing raw XML in your RSS feed, and hoping you didn't break anything. That manual process eats time every episode and leaves room for mistakes that keep your show off Spotify.

Who it fits

Podcasters who already have an RSS feed connected to Spotify for Podcasters.

How it works

  1. You provide the finished audio file
  2. The system uploads it to Google Drive and creates a shareable link
  3. It fetches your current RSS feed file from GitHub
  4. A new episode entry with title, description, and audio link is added to the feed
  5. The updated feed is saved, which pushes the new episode live on Spotify
What you get

New episodes live on Spotify automatically

You get your finished podcast episode uploaded, added to your feed, and live on Spotify without touching a single setting yourself.

What you get

A published podcast episode live on Spotify with an updated RSS feed.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a GitHub repository for your RSS feed, and an RSS feed already linked in Spotify for Podcasters.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
