Buzzsprout has [redesigned its podcast directory submission workflow](https://www.buzzsprout.com/new/133-one-click-submission-to-16-audio-directories?ref=podcastvideos.com), allowing creators to submit their shows to 16 podcast directories with a single click. The hosting company says more than 70% of active podcasts are missing from at least some relevant directories, highlighting a distribution gap that can limit discovery for independent creators and production teams.

### Key takeaways

Buzzsprout’s updated tool is designed to simplify podcast distribution beyond a show’s primary hosting platform.

- Creators can submit a podcast to 16 directories in one step.
- More than 5,200 Buzzsprout podcasts reportedly added at least one previously missing directory within two weeks of launch.
- Directory availability can improve how easily audiences find and follow a show.
- Multi-platform distribution remains important as podcast listening becomes increasingly fragmented.

### Why directory coverage matters

[A podcast’s RSS feed](https://www.podcastvideos.com/what-is-an-rss-feed-guide/) is the foundation of its distribution, but listeners do not all use the same app or directory. A show may be available on one major service while remaining absent from smaller platforms, regional catalogs, or specialized discovery tools. That creates unnecessary friction for potential listeners and can make a podcast appear less established than it is.

For creators, checking every submission portal individually is also a time-consuming administrative task. Buzzsprout’s approach addresses that operational problem by bringing multiple submissions into the hosting workflow. For teams producing both audio and video, it is another reminder that publishing should be treated as a distribution system—not a single-platform upload.

### What Buzzsprout’s update changes

The redesigned process allows eligible Buzzsprout users to submit their shows to 16 directories at once. [The company’s early figures](https://podnews.net/press-release/buzzsprout-one-click?ref=podcastvideos.com) indicate that the feature is already being used to fill gaps in existing distribution: more than 5,200 podcasts reportedly added at least one directory where they had not previously appeared during the first two weeks.

That result suggests many creators are not deliberately avoiding these outlets; they may simply lack the time, information, or workflow needed to manage submissions. A centralized tool can make directory coverage part of a launch checklist rather than an occasional maintenance task.

### Distribution is not the same as discovery

Being listed in more directories does not guarantee downloads, subscribers, or chart performance. Creators still need clear show descriptions, strong episode titles, accurate categories, compelling artwork, and consistent publishing schedules. Directory metadata should also be reviewed regularly, particularly when a show changes its format, branding, or target audience.

Platform-specific risks reinforce the value of broad distribution. A recent case involving a music-heavy podcast being removed from Spotify for several weeks illustrates why producers should avoid relying on one service, even when they believe their licensing is in order. Maintaining a reliable RSS feed and multiple audience pathways gives creators more resilience when platform policies or automated moderation systems change.

### A practical checklist for creators

PodcastVideos.com recommends treating directory submissions as one part of a wider publishing workflow:

1. Confirm that the RSS feed, artwork, author name, and show description are accurate.
2. Submit to all relevant directories, then verify that each listing displays correctly.
3. Keep ownership and platform accounts documented for future updates.
4. Track where listeners come from instead of assuming every directory performs equally.
5. Pair audio distribution with an accessible video strategy when the format and audience support it.

Buzzsprout’s one-click update reduces a tedious barrier, but the broader lesson is strategic: creators should build distribution that is broad, verifiable, and not dependent on a single platform.
