Sharing your podcast on social media is a great way to grow your audience and get more ears on your episodes! With ZenCast, there are two main ways to share your podcast episodes:
Option 1: Share from a Podcast App (like Spotify or Apple Podcasts)
When you publish your podcast through ZenCast, we take care of distributing your episode to all the major podcast platforms—like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and more. These platforms use your RSS feed (which ZenCast manages) to find and play your episodes.
Since playback happens inside those platforms, you’ll want to get the sharing link from the app itself. Here's how:
- Open your podcast in Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or whichever app you like.
- Find the episode you want to share.
- Tap the share button (usually a little arrow or three-dot menu).
- Choose where you want to post it—Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram stories, etc.
This way, people who click the link will be taken straight to that episode in the app, ready to listen.
Heads up: You can’t share this kind of link directly from ZenCast, since ZenCast doesn’t control the platforms people use to listen to your podcast. You’ll always need to get the link from the app where your listeners will play the episode.
Option 2: Share Your ZenCast Website
Every ZenCast subscription comes with a podcast website included—it’s a simple, clean homepage for your show where people can listen to episodes directly.
To share an episode directly from your ZenCast website:
- Go to your podcast’s public ZenCast website (you can find this in your ZenCast dashboard).
- Click on the episode you want to share.
- Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
- Paste that link into your social media post.
That link will take people to a web page where they can listen to the episode right there, without needing to open a podcast app.
Which Should I Use?
Both methods work—it just depends on where your listeners hang out:
If they already use Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc., then sharing from those apps is perfect.
If you want something easy to link to that works in any browser, your ZenCast website is a great choice.
Either way, you're making it easy for people to find and hear your voice. 🎙️
