How to submit your podcast to Deezer

A podcast feed is a URL to an RSS in XML format.

To publish a podcast on Deezer, you’ll need to use a podcast hosting service or create a website that generates a feed conforming to RSS 2.0. If you don’t have a feed yet, you can create your RSS Feed using a third-party host/aggregator (see list). We recommend the below list. For most of them, you'll be able to submit your show to us with one-click.

If you can’t submit your podcast through your hosting or distribution service, you can submit your podcast by visiting: podcasters.deezer.com

Submissions

If your podcast meets our technical specifications, your content will be added within one working day and you should be able to search for it 24 hours later.

If your submission was unsuccessful, please review our FAQs and make sure your station podcast follows our technical specifications.

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.

It’s important to note that Deezer doesn’t handle feed redirection, so if your RSS feed has changed, you’ll need request to update (support@deezer.com) it. 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.

If you’ve submitted through the form and gave us your email, you’ll receive content usage figures by email. Download the zip file, open the html link on your web browser and you’ll get a visualization of the previous week results.

What to do if the latest episode of your podcast isn’t showing

If after 24 hours you still don't see your new episode, contact us our support team with the following details:

Your podcast page link
If you have changed your RSS feed
Your latest and previous episode release dates
If you have not released any new episodes in the last 180 days

I have added my podcast but I can’t find it in my country. Why?

Our podcasts offer is not available worldwide yet. If you can favourite podcasts in your profile, then you should be able to access podcasts.

I’m Stitcher Partner and can’t see my show on Deezer. Why?

Stitcher no longer belongs to Deezer. We now have two separate catalogs. The Terms of Service covered distribution on both platforms, but if it appears your show isn't on Deezer anymore, contact our support team and we'll make it right.

How do I add my radio station to Deezer?

At the moment, it is not possible to upload your radio station to Deezer. However, we have a partnership with a distributor called Airable.

When I click on my podcast page link it’s not available anymore.

The podcast may be disabled because of an issue with the RSS feed or the audio files format. Please review our technical specifications and contact support@deezer.com.

Can I get a Deezer widget to share my show?

Yes, you can create your own widget here.
