Everything you need to know before distributing your podcast on Pandora!
👉 Foreword: To activate distribution, your podcast must have at least one publicly visible, published episode. If your podcast only has planned or draft episodes, you cannot start distributing, regardless of the platform. To learn more, check out: “How do I distribute my podcast on listening platforms?”.
👉Pandora is only available in North America. If you are located anywhere else in the world (Europe, Asia, etc), you won't be able to add your show on Pandora at the moment.
Be sure that we will notify you as soon as Pandora will be available worldwide!
For any inquiries regarding supported locations, please reach the Pandora Support Team here. 💌
👉 Please note that distribution on iHeartRadio will be only available if your show's language is English.
Otherwise, you will not be able to set up distribution on Pandora and others platforms appearing in the Other Podcast Directories distribution category on Ausha.

After following these steps on Pandora, your podcast will be validated within a few weeks (average observed delay, the delay may be longer at certain times of the year).
Once your podcast is distributed on Pandora, don’t forget to manually enter your `Pandora listen link in your Ausha distribution settings.
To do so: head to Settings > Distribution > Pandora > Is your podcast already on Pandora?: Yes > Scroll up to find the Listen Link field and click on Edit > Paste the link to your Pandora page and click Save.
From now on, when you publish a new episode on Ausha, it will be automatically published on Pandora without you having to do anything else! 🥳
Note: distribution on Pandora is not always instantaneous, each episode may appear after a delay of several hours (up to 1 day). This is due to the technical inner workings of Pandora and how it updates with new content (the delay may vary from one episode to another).
