On Tuesday, Facebook will begin rolling out podcast support, allowing podcast hosts to share direct RSS feed links to their pages and listeners to create and share clips.

How to Get Your Podcast on Your Facebook Page (Facebook Podcasts)

In an email sent to podcast hosts, The Verge reports, Facebook announced that podcast support will be rolling out to a limited number of Pages next week. As The Verge notes, multiple podcasters received these emails, so the rollout may not be as limited as originally expected.

Podcast hosts can link their show's RSS feed directly to their Facebook page, which will then appear in a "podcasts" tab in your Facebook menu. Once the RSS feed is linked, Facebook will automatically generate posts for new episodes in the news feed.

It's worth noting that connecting podcasts to Facebook also means accepting the company's Terms of Service. As The Verge reports, the agreement seems pretty standard, but it doesn't currently offer a clear picture of what the company can and can't do with podcasts distributed on the platform.
