First you need to record your podcast episode.

Then, sign up  here: https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itc97d9d1513 to create an account.

Next, on your mobile or desktop device, upload your audio files to V-TIP.COM to create an audio playlist.

View our FAQ on how to do that.

Note: stream playlists will not work for this purpose.

Also note: there is no need to upload cover art at this stage.  It can be done during the rss feed creation stage.
