# How to get your podcast on Spotify

Spotify is one of the most used podcasting directories in the world and, as part of [Captivate's simple podcast distribution platform](https://help.captivate.fm/en/articles/3027017-podcast-distribution-overview), getting your podcast on Spotify has never been easier.

To get your podcast on Spotify, simply:

* Make sure you have your [podcast cover art and show settings](https://help.captivate.fm/en/articles/3020421-podcast-show-settings-overview) completed.
* Publish at least one episode.
* Click _Distribute_ on the left hand menu - it's under the _Promotion_ heading.
* On the Spotify section, click _Start Submission_.

We work with Spotify on direct ingestion and passthrough so you can come back to this page at any time to check your submission status and once you're in Spotify, your Distribution area will update itself and your podcast marketing section on the left-hand menu will also populate itself with your podcast's Spotify link to make subscribing easy for listeners.
