I hope this will be of some use to someone, because it's taken me days of torture to get to this point. Apple may be one of the largest companies in the world, but its website is a baffling, bug-ridden mess. Five long years after my first failed attempt, I finally seem to have navigated all of the exotic obstacles and got the Scot Goes Popcast onto Apple Podcasts, and you can find it
HERE. And before anyone asks, it's
already on Spotify and has been since 2021. It suddenly seems to be on quite a few other podcast platforms as well, although in most cases I'm not entirely sure that was my own doing.
Just to be clear about what the Popcast actually is, it's basically audio versions of some of my YouTube videos from the last year or so (not all of them), plus the back catalogue from 2021-22 when I was making a conventional podcast intended primarily for audio, although I later stuck the majority of the episodes on YouTube anyway. In most of those, I was interviewing guests, including the likes of Tim Rideout, Alex Salmond and Len Pennie.
Bear in mind that in contrast to the YouTube videos, I will not be receiving any passive advertising revenues from the audio-only uploads, so putting the Popcast on Apple could in a sense end up being harmful if it diverts any traffic away from my YouTube channel. So if you'd like to help keep the content I produce sustainable, just a reminder that I
now have a Ko-Fi page, where you can either set up a small recurring monthly subscription, or make a one-off donation.
Thank you to the several people who urged me to keep trying with Apple - it would have been annoying to be defeated by the glitches.
