New podcast features | facebook

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.

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