Frequently Asked Questions#

How long does Apple Podcasts approval take?

Approval typically takes a few hours, but can sometimes take longer. Make sure you have at least one published episode and that your cover art meets Apple's requirements (square, 1400x1400 to 3000x3000 pixels).

Do I need to resubmit for each new episode?

No. This is a one-time setup. Once approved, every episode you publish on Jellypod automatically appears on Apple Podcasts through your RSS feed.
