What link should you share for your podcast?
When you share your podcast, the link you pick decides whether a listener finds your show in their own app or gives up. Here is which link to share and where to use it.
Your listeners use many different podcast apps. In September 2026, Apple Podcasts and Spotify together accounted for 60.5% of downloads on Buzzsprout. The other 39.5% came from dozens of other apps and players, such as Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Podcast Addict, and Amazon Music (Buzzsprout podcast stats).
So when you share a link to one app, you are betting that your listener uses that app. Most people won't do extra work to find your show. If the link opens an app they don't use, they won't open their own app and search for you. They will move on to the next thing.
What about the website your podcast host made for you? Some host websites show only the most popular apps. Others show every app at once, which is too many links. A listener on an Android phone doesn't need an Apple Podcasts link. Depending on the device, only a handful of apps are relevant to each listener.
That is the problem PodBio solves. Instead of guessing which app your listener uses, or posting a long list of links, you share one link.
When a listener opens your PodBio link, it checks which device they are on and shows only the apps that work on that device. On an iPhone, they see Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and other iOS apps, but not Podcast Addict, which is only on Android. PodBio also remembers the listener's favorite app, so the next time they open any PodBio link, that app is at the top.
Where can you use your PodBio link?
You can use it any time you share your podcast. Every time you share your show, you have one goal: make it easy for the listener to find your podcast in the app they already use. If you share only an Apple Podcasts or Spotify link, that is hard for everyone who uses a different app.
It also means you only need to remember one link. That makes it simpler to market your podcast and everything else you offer.
In your social media bio
Put your PodBio link in your Instagram, X, Facebook, and other profile bios. Many profiles have room for only one website. Instagram lets you add up to five links (Instagram Help Center), but the first one is the one most people see. If that link goes to Apple Podcasts or Spotify, fewer people can find and follow your show in their app.
You can also add your other links to PodBio, such as your social profiles, your community group, your website, your email list, and your products. That way you make the most of the one link in your bio.
Because your podcast is always in your bio link, you can post clips and quote images and say "link in bio" with confidence that your followers will find the show.
When you share clips
When you post a clip or an episode on a platform that allows links in posts, such as X, Facebook, or LinkedIn, use your PodBio link. Your followers can then open the episode in their own app.
When you share your show with friends
You don't need to ask each friend which podcast app they use. Send them your PodBio link and it shows them the apps that work on their phone.
The same goes for everything else you share. Instead of remembering one link for donations, another for your community group, and another for your newsletter, you can put them all in one place and remember one link.
When you are a guest on other podcasts
When you appear on someone else's show, give the host your PodBio link so their listeners can follow your podcast easily. This works better than sending people to your website, where many will get distracted and leave before they subscribe.
If you are doing a guest tour, add a link to your email list as well. That makes it easy for new listeners to join your list.
Which podcast apps do your listeners use?
Most podcast hosts show which apps your downloads come from in their analytics. As your show grows, you will notice how many different apps your listeners use. Most will use Apple Podcasts or Spotify, but the mix changes with the devices your listeners own, and people choose apps for their own reasons, such as a feature they like or a habit they formed years ago.
PodBio's analytics show the other side: where the people who open your link come from. You can see which social platforms are working for your podcast, and you get your link's analytics by email every week.
Making it easy for listeners to find your podcast in their own app raises the chance that they follow it. When you share on social media, you want people to subscribe in the app they use. If you share a link to an app they don't use, or a long list of every app, many will not take any action. At that point, finding your podcast takes more effort than they are willing to give.
The link you share is a small choice, but it has a real effect on how many new listeners find your podcast. Try PodBio for free and use one link everywhere you share your show.
