Once you add a podcast it will be added to your Podroll which will be visible on your website and in your RSS feed. 

Reorganizing Your Podroll Recommendations

Pro Tip: If you want to include your Podroll in a directory, we recommend emailing the directory directly to request that they support the Podroll tag!
