If you host your podcast with Spotify for Creators, Spotify now supports publishing those transcripts using open RSS standards - using the Podcasting 2.0
podcast:transcript
tag, which is compatible with Apple Podcasts, Pocketcasts, and other apps. Creators will have to opt-in to make them available. It’s the first time that Spotify has supported a new, open, RSS feature like this.

But let’s wait and see. - Jun 11: AppleInsider highlights how a new feature called Local Capture on the forthcoming iPadOS 26 makes the iPad great as a podcast recorder. Meanwhile, on Apple’s developer website, the icon chosen to highlight the flexibility of Apple’s new visual treatment is the one for Apple Podcasts.
- Jun 10: Apple made a number of announcements at WWDC. Among those relevant for us in podcasting:
- Jun 5: Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, which was removed from Spotify after he called for Dr Anthony Fauci’s beheading, is back on the platform after an almost five year ban. The show had remained on Apple Podcasts and the Podcast Index. It self-hosts. (Apple is now able to remove specific episodes from its directory; it wasn’t in 2020).
- Jun 4: Apple Podcasts released a new set of pages explaining how to produce their in-app artwork for your show, which can make your shows shine in the Apple Podcasts app. There’s now a template library, and a partnership with Canva to make it simple. There’s also details about host and guest images for the app. Many of these enhancements were only available for the big shows.
