# Podcast feeds

> Create, curate, and share audio or video podcast feeds.

## Overview

Podcast feeds allow you to publish audio or video versions of your content to platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and YouTube.

There are two ways to create your feed:

* **Standard feeds** - you manually choose which articles are included.
* **Smart feeds** - articles are included automatically based on rules you define.

This meanns you can create both one-off curated feeds and automatically updating dynamic feeds.
