How to Publish an AI Podcast to Spotify

To publish an AI podcast to Spotify: generate and download the episode audio, host it somewhere that provides an RSS feed (a podcast host or Spotify for Creators), then submit that feed to Spotify once. New episodes then appear automatically.

Getting an AI podcast onto Spotify works exactly like getting any podcast onto Spotify — the audio's origin doesn't change the mechanics. Generate and download the episode, host it somewhere that provides an RSS feed, and submit that feed to Spotify once; from then on, new episodes appear automatically. Here's the full path.

The Key Concept: Spotify Reads a Feed, Not Files

The thing that trips people up: for an ongoing show, you don't upload episodes to Spotify one by one. Spotify subscribes to an RSS feed — a single web address that lists your episodes. You submit that feed once, and Spotify checks it for new episodes from then on. So the real task is "get your audio into a feed," not "upload to Spotify." More on this in do you need an RSS feed for an AI podcast.

Step-by-Step

  1. Generate and download the episode. Create the episode in DIALOGUE, review the script, and download the finished audio file once it's done.
  2. Choose where the feed lives. Two common options:
    • A podcast host (Buzzsprout, Transistor, Podbean, etc.) — you upload the audio, they give you an RSS feed.
    • Spotify for Creators — it can host your audio and generate the feed for you, then distribute to Spotify directly.
  3. Upload the audio and add episode details. Title, description, and cover art. Put your AI disclosure in the description here (see AI podcast disclosure).
  4. Submit the RSS feed to Spotify (skip this if you used Spotify for Creators, which handles it). This is a one-time step.
  5. Publish future episodes to the same feed. They appear on Spotify automatically.

Host vs. Spotify for Creators

If you want to be on Apple Podcasts and others too, a standalone host keeps your feed portable. If you only care about Spotify and want the simplest path, Spotify for Creators is fastest.


Need an episode to publish? Create one free with DIALOGUE — generate, review, and download the audio, then drop it into your feed. First 2 episodes free.


A Few Things to Get Right

  • Cover art has size requirements (typically a square image around 3000×3000). Have one ready.
  • Episode descriptions are prime real estate — include your AI disclosure and any links.
  • Consistency matters for discovery; a recurring show workflow makes regular publishing sustainable, and the same audio can feed YouTube too.

Bottom Line

Publishing an AI podcast to Spotify is a feed exercise, not a per-episode upload. Make the episode in DIALOGUE, download the audio, host it for an RSS feed (or let Spotify for Creators do it), submit the feed once, and keep adding episodes. The AI origin changes nothing about the process — just disclose it and keep the quality high.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you publish an AI podcast to Spotify?
Generate and download your episode audio, host it on a service that gives you an RSS feed (a podcast host like Buzzsprout or Spotify for Creators), then submit that RSS feed to Spotify once. After approval, every new episode you add to the feed appears on Spotify automatically.
Do you need an RSS feed to get on Spotify?
For an ongoing show, yes — Spotify distributes podcasts via RSS. You either get a feed from a podcast host or use Spotify for Creators, which can host the audio and generate the feed for you. You submit the feed once; you do not re-submit each episode.
Can you upload an AI-generated podcast to Spotify?
Yes. Spotify allows AI-assisted content; follow its policies, avoid spammy mass uploads, and disclose AI involvement where appropriate. The publishing mechanics are identical to a human-made show — Spotify ingests the audio via your RSS feed.
How long until the episode appears on Spotify?
The first feed submission usually takes anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days for review. After that, new episodes added to your feed typically appear within hours as Spotify re-checks the feed.
