How to update or edit your podcast on Deezer

Our system checks podcast feeds for updates every day, so you don't need to do anything else once submitted. Deezer takes up to 24 hours to show new episodes once you add them to your RSS feed.

Warning: It’s important to note that Deezer doesn’t handle feed redirection, so if your RSS feed has changed, you’ll need to request to update it by contacting support@deezer.com. If a podcast hasn't released any new episodes in 180 days, we stop checking its RSS feed

Audience analytics

Deezer doesn’t re-host and direct stream. Therefore, you’ll be able to see your Deezer stats amongst other platforms in your usual dashboards. The Deezer for Creators app gives an instant overview of your podcast's performance to help grow your listener base.
