Uploading my podcast to Pandora was easier than I thought! I used Simplecast’s Creator Connect, which is free and doesn’t require you to host your podcast there. After submitting my show with my RSS feed and cover art, it got approved in just a few days, and my podcast was live on Pandora. The process was as smooth as leveling up once I fixed a couple of issues with my feed. If you’re looking to expand your gaming audience or connect with listeners who love gaming culture, Pandora is a great platform to get your podcast out there! ... View more

I’ve actually tried doing something similar while playing American Truck Simulator, and honestly, it’s not really about licensing from the player side. The game itself doesn’t support apps like Pandora or Spotify directly inside it, so you won’t find a built-in option like you do on consoles. What I usually do is run music in the background either through a browser or a separate app while driving. It works surprisingly well, especially on long routes, and makes the whole experience feel more realistic. ATS does have an in-game radio feature where you can add custom streams, but Pandora doesn’t integrate with it directly. From my experience playing different multiplayer game setups, most developers don’t include third-party music apps due to licensing and technical limitations. It usually depends on official partnerships, which is why features like this take time or never get added. For now, the best workaround is just playing your playlist outside the game while driving it’s simple, but it gives you that same relaxed trucking vibe. ... View more

Honestly, I was confused about this at first too 😅 I thought there would be a simple “upload” button inside Pandora, but it doesn’t work like that. What worked for me was using Simplecast Creator Connect. You basically just paste your podcast RSS feed there, and they handle getting it onto Pandora. The good part is you don’t need any paid plan or anything — I submitted mine for free. One small tip from my experience: make sure your RSS feed is working properly (cover art, latest episodes, etc.), because I ran into issues the first time and had to fix my feed before it got accepted. Also, this kind of setup actually reminded me of how I once struggled while setting up a Cinema APP  After submission, it can take a little time for approval, so don’t worry if it’s not instant. Hope that helps — getting started feels tricky, but once you do it once, it’s pretty straightforward 👍   moderator's edit: removed 3rd party link ... View more
