Why is a podcast missing?
Learn more about why some shows are missing and how you can request to have them added to the PODIUS podcast database.
Every day, our crawlers search for new shows across all podcast platforms available on PODIUS. Thanks to our extensive crawling techniques, we’ve already discovered over 4 million shows. However, there are still some podcasts we haven’t been able to find yet.
How We Discover Shows
We search for new shows using the following methods:
Podcast charts
Featured podcast pages
Special search queries
Keyword searches
Podcasts listed by genre (on Apple Podcasts)
Despite these efforts, there are still some podcasts we may not find using the methods above.
This can happen if:
The podcast isn’t listed on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
Access to the podcast is restricted (paywall)
The podcast is small (no chart appearances)
The podcast has an unusual or hard-to-find title
How to Request a Show to Be Added
If you need a podcast added to PODIUS, and it hasn’t appeared yet, please note that if your show is very new, it’s often best to wait a couple of days — in most cases, our crawlers will find it automatically.
If it still doesn’t show up, you can submit a support request for us to add it manually. To help us process your request quickly, please provide:
The podcast title
The podcast author
A link to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts
You can open a support ticket. Our team will get back to you as soon as possible. Once we’ve added the podcast to our crawlers, it usually takes another day for it to appear on PODIUS.io.
