How do I get my podcast to show the seasons?

Hi! So I use Spotify for Podcasters and I specific the season / episode of my podcast for each episode. On the individual podcast episode page on Apple Podcasts, it'll say [date published] - S2 E31 - [length of podcast]. But I've seen some podcasts have the option to choose season 1 at the top of the overall podcast page, you tap that and only season 1 episode show up.


I've attached an image to what I'm referring to. How do I get this onto my podcast? Thank you so much!

You need to use an 'itunes:season' tag within each episode's 'item' tags. I quote:


<itunes:season>

The episode season number.

If an episode is within a season use this tag.

Where season is a non-zero integer (1, 2, 3, etc.) representing your season number.

To allow the season feature for shows containing a single season, if only one season exists in the RSS feed, Apple Podcasts doesn’t display a season number. When you add a second season to the RSS feed, Apple Podcasts displays the season numbers.

As to how to get that tag into the feed you would have to ask Spotify.
