How do you start a podcast on Spotify in 2025?

[Noah Briggs]

Hey group — I’ve been thinking about launching a podcast and want to get it on Spotify, but I have no clue where to begin. Do I need special software or can I just record on my phone?

What platform do you use to publish it to Spotify? Also, how do you actually get listeners when you’re just starting out? Any advice or tools that made things easier would be super helpful!

Hi Noah, starting a podcast on Spotify is way easier than it used to be. You don’t need fancy gear, and your phone or a basic mic is fine to start. I used Spotify for Podcasters (used to be Anchor) to upload everything.

It’s free and automatically pushes your episodes to Spotify and other platforms. As for editing, you can use free tools like Audacity or Descript if you want to clean up the audio.

Getting listeners takes time, but posting clips on social media helps a lot. And if you want to grow faster, you can always buy Spotify followers or plays to give it that early boost. This helps with visibility while you’re getting things off the ground. Just stay consistent and keep improving with each episode.
