Have you ever wanted to recommend podcasts to your listeners through your podcast? Well, now you can! Buzzsprout's new Podroll tool will allow you to include podcast recommendations within your Buzzsprout website and RSS feed. Podroll recommendations are powerful because you get to control what podcasts you recommend!
Adding Podroll Recommendations
Adding a Podroll to your podcast is very easy and you can recommend as many shows as you want!
Just follow these steps:
- Log into your Buzzsprout Account
- Head to your Podcast Info page and click the Podroll tab
- Click ⊕ Add a Podcast
- Use the search field to find a podcast you would like to recommend
- Click Add Podcast
If you have already added a podcast, the
Add Podcast button will be disabled. You can search for shows using the podcast title, description, or artist.
Once you add a podcast it will be added to your Podroll which will be visible on your website and in your RSS feed.
Reorganizing Your Podroll Recommendations
As you build out your Podroll, you can sort and remove shows as needed. To change the order, just click on the podcast and drag it to the place you want it to show. To remove a show from your Podroll click the
Remove link below the podcast artwork.
Where Will Podroll Recommendations Show?
Once your Podroll is set up, you will see it included anywhere that supports the Podroll tag! This includes your Buzzsprout Website, your
Podnews listing, and any
Podcasting 2.0-enabled listening apps.
Pro Tip: If you want to include your Podroll in a directory, we recommend
emailing the directory directly to request that they support the Podroll tag!
