Why Your Anchor Podcast Might Not Be Showing Up on Spotify

As a podcast creator, it's frustrating when you realize that your show isn't appearing on popular platforms like Spotify. One common reason for this issue is hiding your email address in your RSS feed. In this article, we'll explore why this might be happening and what you can do to resolve the problem.

When you're not actively trying to claim a listing on Spotify, it's a good idea to hide your email address at all other times to reduce spam. However, when you want to list your podcast on Spotify or move between hosting providers, you'll need to toggle this setting off temporarily. This is because Spotify uses the email address as part of its verification process.

To claim your podcast listing on Spotify, you'll first need to ensure that your email address is correctly displayed in your RSS feed. To do this, go to the Settings tab of your podcast in Transistor and check that the email address is correct and accessible. Then, tick the box next to that field marked 'Display this email in your RSS feed.'

It's worth noting that you only need to show your email address temporarily in your feed when submitting or claiming listings on podcast directories or when moving between hosting providers. Once you've completed these tasks, you can toggle the setting back off again.

In summary, if your Anchor podcast isn't showing up on Spotify, it might be due to hiding your email address in your RSS feed. By following these simple steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and claim your listing on Spotify.
