Your podcast dashboard just got an upgrade
Hey media maker,
You asked. We built it. The all-new Podcast Dashboard is here: your streamlined hub for turning any external podcast feed into premium content for your members.
But that’s not all. We’re also giving Steady’s design a refresh, and the first changes are already live. Read on to see what’s new.
What’s new in your Podcast Dashboard
Our Podcast Dashboard 2.0 gives you full control over your podcast monetisation setup. If you publish on any platform other than Spotify, you can now connect your existing feed to Steady, gate access by membership tier, and distribute it via Spotify or RSS.
And if you’re running multiple shows? Even better: manage them all in one place, each with its own tier and audience.
Here’s what the Podcast Dashboard lets you do:
Connect any externally hosted podcast feed to your Steady project
Create separate premium feeds for each podcast
Choose which membership tiers have access to each feed
Distribute via Spotify and private RSS, no hosting switch needed
How do I make an external feed premium?
Go to your Steady dashboard and head to Podcasts (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
Click “Add podcast”
Choose “Host externally” (you can still choose to host one feed on Steady!)
Paste your unlisted external RSS feed into the URL field
We’ll send a verification code to the email connected to the RSS to confirm ownership
Select the membership plan(s) that should get access
That’s it! Your external podcast feed is now premium. You can also offer it as a private RSS feed for members who prefer to listen on other apps like Apple Podcast and others.
FAQ
1. What happens to podcasts already hosted on Steady?
Nothing changes! You can keep using Steady to host and publish as always.
2. Does this work for video podcasts too?
Yes, Spotify supports video content, and with our new function you can make video feeds premium too.
3. Can I sync feeds?
Yes! You can sync both Steady-hosted and external feeds. Just claim the feed on Spotify to connect it properly. Learn more here (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre).
A full makeover
We’ve started revamping Steady’s design to make the whole platform clearer and more user-friendly.
You can already see the first updates in the Steady backend. More improvements will follow over the next few weeks — not only in the dashboard, but across all Steady pages.

The new Podcast Dashboard was built because of feedback from media makers like you. We’re building Steady to fit your workflows, and your ideas help shape what comes next.
