What is Apple Podcasts Delegated Delivery?<\/h2>\n

Apple Podcasts Delegated Delivery means podcasters will be able to skip a large portion of the current process for getting a new podcast listed on Apple Podcasts. Most notably, an Apple ID will no longer be required and the steps will be significantly streamlined.<\/p>\n

You can simply submit your show to Apple Podcasts from the Libsyn platform. No more complicated instructions! Easy, fast, done.<\/p>\n

Apple Podcasts Delegated Delivery will additionally include opportunities for direct publishing from Libsyn of both free and premium content offerings to Apple Podcasts.<\/p>\n

As we continue to collaborate with Apple, we are excited to reduce the complexity of starting or adding a show for all Libsyn creators at no additional cost, and look forward to sharing more about Delegated Delivery, slated for full release in 2022!<\/p>\n
