Why is it important to mark explicit content in my podcast?

If your podcast episodes contain explicit content and you do not check the ‘Contains explicit content’ box, Apple Podcasts may reject your RSS feed when you try to submit it. This ensures that your podcast meets the platform's guidelines and reaches the appropriate audience.

What qualifies as explicit content in a podcast?

Explicit content generally includes strong language, sexual content, or any material that may not be suitable for all audiences. It’s important to accurately categorize your content to comply with platform standards like those of Apple Podcasts.

What should I do before submitting my podcast to Apple Podcasts?

Before submitting your podcast to Apple Podcasts, ensure that you have:

  1. Marked the ‘Contains explicit content’ box in your Content Settings if applicable.
  2. Reviewed all episodes to confirm whether they included any material that could be considered explicit.

What could happen if I fail to mark explicit content in my podcast?

If you fail to mark your podcast as containing explicit content when it does, Apple Podcasts may reject your feed, preventing your podcast from being distributed on their platform. This step is crucial to avoid any disruptions in your podcast’s availability.
