Facebook has just added Podcasts and other great audio features to their mobile app. Automatically share your episodes to your News Feed, you and your listeners can make and share clips of episodes, and more! 

​Eligible podcast creators can now add their podcasts to their Facebook Pages for people in the U.S to discover, listen to and share with friends -- directly within the Facebook app. 

Podcasts is part of a series of social audio experiences coming to Facebook. With podcasts on Facebook, podcast creators can reach new fans, connect with listeners and grow their shows through a social experience that drives discovery and fandom. Key features include comments and reactions; podcast clips, a feature that allows people on Facebook to create snippets of episodes and share on Facebook; and Audio destination, a central place in the Facebook mobile app where people in the U.S. can discover and share audio content.

At this time, podcasts are available to all U.S. listeners on the Facebook app (mobile only). 

Eligibility requirements
  • You must have a Facebook Page with at least one administrator. If you don’t have a Facebook Page, you can create one for your podcast show and then set the Page category to Podcast.
  • Your Facebook Page and administrators must be in good standing on Facebook.

If you’re eligible, you can add your podcast to your Facebook Page by using your Podomatic RSS feed.

Check out these resources:
  • Download the Podcasts Overview Guide to learn more.
  • Download the Podcasts Quick Start Guide for detailed instructions on how to get started.
  • Visit the Facebook for Creators website to learn about podcasts and other creator tools.
  • Access social images to tell your fans in the U.S. your podcast is on Facebook. Remember to tell your U.S. listeners where your podcast episodes appear: on your Page, in the new central audio destination on Facebook and in News Feed on the Facebook mobile app.

We asked A Squared a few questions about their podcast journey. Here's what they have to say! 

​Who are you guys and what is the show about? 


"
The A Squared Podcast is hosted by the bona fide tandem of Antonio and Aaron. Antonio, a.k.a. Cornbread, has always had a love for sports, education and being a father. Aaron, a.k.a. DJ A-Ron, has always had a special connection with music. The former official DJ for the University of Illinois’ athletics teams, he’s played events everywhere from nightclubs to a boxing match at the iconic Forum in Los Angeles featuring legendary prize fighter Sugar Shane Mosley. Together, Cornbread and DJ A-Ron host a unique podcast that makes you laugh just as much as it makes you think. The show has no limitations and intersects with sports, politics, business, parenting, and whatever else organically arises in the conversation."

Describe some of the struggles you had when first building your audience and how you were able to keep them once they found you.

"
 I would say that it has been consistently building our audience, It’s very hard to gain exposure. There are millions of podcast out there, What we decided to do was be as unique as possible, Be ourselves at all time. The good the bad and the ugly, You will get it raw and real."

Any advice for people that haven’t pressed record yet?
"
My advice to people would be to go in with a plan and not give up. Don’t worry about what any other podcast is doing or their numbers. Only focus on your brand and what you can bring to the table. Be unique, and let your voice be heard. "
