Create a channel

In Apple Podcasts Connect, you can create a single destination, called a channel, to list two or more podcasts in a central place. You can group your shows together however you like — create a single channel to highlight your brand or create multiple channels to group shows with similar themes.

When creating multiple channels, keep in mind that shows can only be linked to one channel. If you’re a member of the Apple Podcasters Program, you have the option to add a subscription to your channel. Channels can contain one subscription and can include exclusively paid content, free content, or a mix of both.

In iOS16.4, when a listener follows a show that is part of a channel, the channel will appear in Library, making it easier for your fans to discover your other shows. Learn more about channels in Library.
