Adding a podcast link to your Linktree is a fantastic way to attract new listeners and boost your podcast’s visibility. With this feature, you can let your audience listen to a preview of your episodes and direct them to their favorite podcast platforms to follow your show. Here’s everything you need to know to set up a podcast link on your Linktree and customize it to fit your brand.
What is a Podcast Link?
A podcast link on Linktree acts as a hub for your podcast across various platforms. Just like Linktree’s Music Link feature, when you add a Podcast Link, it’ll display several listening options, giving your visitors a choice of platforms. You can even reorder these options to prioritize the platforms you want to highlight. For an added touch, Linktree lets you display your podcast’s logo and description, so your brand is front and center.
Remember, that the Podcast Link feature is currently only available via the Linktree website, not the mobile app, so be sure to set it up on a desktop or browser.
How Does It Work?
When you add a podcast URL, Linktree’s detection system scans supported platforms and populates a list of all the podcast platforms where your show is available. This list then appears on your Linktree, giving visitors multiple ways to tune in.
Also, don’t forget that if you’re on the Linktree Pro plan, you can track which platforms are getting the most engagement from your Link Analytics to see where your audience prefers to listen.
Steps to Add a Podcast Link to Linktree
- In your Linktree Admin, hit the + Add Link button.
- Choose View all to see the Link Apps, then select Podcasts in the “Connect your content” section. You can also go through the Linktree Marketplace and click Add to Linktree.
- Enter a title for your link.
- Copy and paste your podcast’s URL in the URL field.
- A thumbnail will appear, showing your podcast’s logo and platform options.
- Choose your Link behavior:

- If it’s an episode link, toggle on Always use the latest episode to automatically update when you release a new one.
If a platform isn’t accessible in a visitor’s region, it will automatically move to the bottom of your platform list.
Customizing Your Podcast Link
Once your podcast link is added, you have more options to personalize it. Here’s how to reorder, edit, or hide certain platforms to suit your preferences.
