Upload podcast episodes to Spotify via RSS & Google Drive

🎧 Upload Podcast Episodes to Spotify via RSS & Google Drive Skip the manual steps and publish your podcast episodes to Spotify in minutes — fully automated. This workflow takes your finished audio, uploads it to Google Drive, updates your podcast’s RSS feed in GitHub, and pushes it live on Spotify and other platforms linked to that feed. No more copy-pasting links or manually editing XML files — everything happens in one click.
