Q: How to add podcasts to an existing account?

I have already uploaded 4 to 5 podcasts to my account, but i can't figure how do I add another one. I can repeat the process but then I would have to add those previous 5 podcasts again.

 

I can't seem to figure out how to just add one to my account.

 

Anybody knows this?

 

Thanks!

    Do you mean 'podcasts' or do you mean 'episodes'? A podcast is in effect the 'wrapper' for the episodes, and has its own page in the iTunes Store, within which the episodes show. The Store and iTunes work from a feed, which contains the information in a specific format. All you need to do is add an episode to the feed and re-publish it: subscribers in iTunes will see the new episode almost immediately and the Store will update in 1-2 days.

     

    If you really want to add a new podcast, with its own episodes distinct from your existing one, just go to http://podcastsconnect.apple.com and click the '+' icon at top left to add it there. This will not affect your existing podcast.

     

    When you have a question you should post the URLs of your feed and iTunes Store page as without them one can give only very general answers.

    This helped.

     

    I meant episodes, and when I added the episode to my url feed, I had to refresh my feed and wait 24 hours.

     

    Thanks!

    When you add an episode it's worth subscribing manually in iTunes (from the 'File' menu) to make sure it show up - it should do so as soon as you've uploaded the feed. It will take the Store 1-2 days to catch up.
