Google Play has made itself into a strong, new competitor in the podcasting scene over the last couple of years. There are over 2 billion Android devices that are active monthly as of 2017, which means that these users are only a couple of taps away from the Google Play store and from discovering your podcast.

Here's what you need included on your RSS feed to get onto Google Play:

• One published episode
• Author tag
• Email tag
• Title tag​​
• Description tag
• Language tag
• Podcast cover art image

Don't sweat it, adding these tags is really easy in your Podomatic settings. We'll breakdown how to do so below.
