Getting Started with Blubrry Publisher

If you’re not going to use Blubrry’s PowerPress plugin (or some othermethod) to publish your podcast, you can instead use the Blubrry Publisher tool, found within your Podcaster Dashboard.

How to use Blubrry Publisher

The video below explains how to get started with Blubrry Publisher. You must have an active Blubrry Media Hosting subscription in order to use Blubrry Publisher.

Note: you need to use only one solution to publish your podcast; Blubrry Publisher or Blubrry’s PowerPress plugin for WordPress. You don’t need to use both solutions at the same time.

Blubrry Publisher Initial Setup

If you have a dedicated podcast website but still want to use Blubrry Publisher to publish your podcast, follow the steps in the Option 2 section. Note: you can always change these settings in the future, if needed.

This is normal and does not mean you have to publish your podcast through your WordPress site. You can still use Blubrry Publisher.
