If you’d like to rank higher in these, feel free to encourage your listeners to recommend your show in Overcast at a reasonable time, such as when asking for ratings or reviews in other apps. The categories in the Add Podcast screen show the top-recommended podcasts recently for each category. Overcast lets users “recommend” episodes with a star button. Overcast does not feature podcasts via human curation or editorial selections. Regardless of whether a podcast is included in Overcast’s search or recommendations, listeners can always subscribe to any podcast with a public feed URL using the “Add URL” button in the app’s Add Podcast screen. If I’m notified that Apple’s guidelines are being significantly violated by a show that is (but should not be) in their Podcasts directory, I may manually remove it from Overcast’s search results and recommendations. In rare cases, a show may be included in Apple Podcasts that does not comply with its content requirements. Since Overcast is a one-person company that can’t possibly review and monitor all known podcasts for spam, adult content, hate speech, and other problematic, controversial, or illegal material, Overcast uses the human-reviewed Apple Podcasts directory as its filter for what should be included in search results and recommendations. Overcast listeners can always subscribe to any public podcast feed by entering its feed URL, but URLs not known to be in Apple Podcasts won’t be included in search or recommendations. If your podcast is already listed in Apple Podcasts, but isn’t showing up in Overcast, you may add it manually here. Simply submit your podcast to Apple Podcasts, and it will typically show up in Overcast’s search within 1–2 days. There’s no separate submission process to be included in Overcast. Overcast parses your RSS feed, downloads episodes directly from your servers to each listener, and doesn’t interfere with your stats or content at all. There’s no terms to agree to, no rights to give up, and no loss of control over your podcast or its distribution. It’s the kind of podcast app that used to be the only kind. Overcast works with the open, standard world of podcasts.
