January 31, 2024382. How to Fix Duplicate Listings in Apple Podcasts (or Other Podcast Apps)
If your podcast is listed twice in Apple Podcasts or another podcast directory, STOP! Don't do anything about it until you read or listen to this!
Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/fixduplicates
How duplicate podcast listings happen
Reason 1: a secondary feed was automatically discovered and indexed
Podpage: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/podpage
a feed proxy: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/how-proxies-and-ios-14-5-affect-your-podcast/
Reason 2: the podcast was resubmitted
The duplicate podcast listing problem gets worse, especially in Apple Podcasts
But it's even worse in Apple Podcasts since iOS 14.5!: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/how-proxies-and-ios-14-5-affect-your-podcast/
How to fix your duplicate podcast listing in proxy-based services like Apple Podcasts and Spotify
Step 1: Ask the platform to merge your listings
Step 2: Redirect properly
Step 3: Make a new RSS feed with a single announcement episode
Step 4: Change the feed URL in the platform's portal
Step 5: Redirect and delete after a few months
Unfortunate conclusion: it's messy and you might still lose some numbers
Important reminder: do not resubmit your feed!

May 03, 2023376. How to Choose the Right Podcast Categories
Choosing the right category for your podcast has the potential to help your podcast get discovered and featured. But what should you do with so many categories to choose from, and sometimes seemingly not enough?
Sidenote: "genre" and "category" are often used interchangeably in podcasting, but I'll stick with the "category" term for this episode.
Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/categories
Categories in Apple Podcasts
Apple's 110 podcast categories: https://podcasters.apple.com/support/1691-apple-podcasts-categories
Podcasts can be in more than one category
The primary category matters most
4 steps to pick the right categories for your podcast
Apple's 110 podcast categories: https://podcasters.apple.com/support/1691-apple-podcasts-categories
1. Ignore the charts and saturation

3. Pick what best describes your content
4. Pick where your audience would expect to find your podcast
