Podcast feed readiness check

Check your RSS feed before submitting it to Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Results and fix instructions are free.

Use your RSS feed, not your Apple or Spotify listing. Submit only a public URL; do not include passwords or private access tokens.

An account is only needed to save reports and compare future checks.

What this check covers

RSS structure, core show metadata, top-level category, artwork, episode identifiers and up to two audio files. We check feeds up to 1.5 MB and artwork up to 5 MB. These are tool limits, not directory rejection rules.

A technical check cannot guarantee acceptance. Directory review also considers content, ownership and other policies. Compare the Apple requirements and Spotify specification.
