While there are many ways to promote a podcast on Instagram, many podcasters still leverage Instagram Story to reach their core audiences.
There are some reasons for this;
This is a podcaster sharing an episode reel on Instagram Story:
Using Instagram stories, you can share quick and compelling podcast content, behind-the-scenes glimpses, promote your show, funnel traffic to your podcast landing page, and increase your visibility on the platform.
However, not everyone knows how to share a podcast on Instagram. Below we explain how to share a podcast episode on Instagram Story in just a few clicks.
First, launch the app or platform where your podcast is hosted (or website if you're on a desktop). This could be platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Castos, etc.
From the homepage of your podcast platform, navigate to the specific episode you want to share. If it is your podcast, you can navigate to your podcast page and find the specific episode you want to share by browsing through the list of episodes available on your podcast page.
Here, you're looking for the share button or option. The location of this button on the podcast page may be different depending on the design of the podcast app. But, this button is typically represented by an icon of like connected triangular dots, an arrow, or the word “share.” You can always find it near the episode title or description.
After you've clicked on the share button, the next step is choosing the option to share to Instagram stories. You may be given multiple sharing options but make sure you select “Instagram Stories.”
After selecting Instagram Stories as your sharing option, you can customize the appearance of your story. You can make these edits to reflect the theme of your podcast and maybe add an arrow pointing to the clickable link as shown in the image below;
You can also add stickers, texts, drawings, or any other features available to make your story more engaging.
Pro tip: We suggest you keep the customization minimal to avoid cluttering the look of your story.
After you've customized your story to reflect your podcast theme, it's time to share your episode on Instagram Stories. Tap the next button on the bottom right corner and click on “share.” Before sharing, you have the option to add the story to your profile highlights or send as direct messages to friends. Select your options (or ignore them) and click on “Done.”
And there you have it - how you can share your podcast episodes to Instagram Stories. Your followers can now see your Instagram stories, and get directed to your podcast platform to listen to your episode.
