Apple Podcasts (formerly known as iTunes) is the world’s leading podcasting platform.
Because of this, it’s important that you, as a podcaster, know it inside and out (even if you don’t use iOS devices).
What does it look like? What are its section and nuances?
What should you consider and do to increase your podcast visibility on the platform?
Alongside Libsyn’s VP of Podcaster Relation Rob Walch, we take a closer look at Apple Podcasts and debunk the myth of its (in)famous New & Noteworthy section.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been podcasting for a couple of months or a few years, this episode is a must-listen!
