Here, you will find your Podcast RSS feed URL, which is a link that contains a summary of updates from your website.

Because each directory has its own unique process for connection, Kajabi has provided the instructions for Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Follow the in-app instructions to connect to these directories:
Once you have successfully connected, Kajabi will then automatically add an icon link on your podcast page, allowing your customers to access your podcast via the directory:
Most other Podcast platforms pull from these three major platforms, which means that your podcast will most likely be available on any platform of your choosing.
**Note:** The process of updating your Podcasts in a distribution location is the responsibility of each third-party platform. Therefore, your Podcasts will be made available according to the standards set by the third-party platform used and can take a few hours to populate.
**Note:** Deleting a Podcast from your Kajabi account may not automatically delete it from third-party platforms where you've distributed it. Learn more about [removing a Podcast from third-party platforms](/articles/products/podcasts/how-to-remove-your-podcast-from-third-party-platforms).
