How to Rate or Review a Podcast on Apple Podcasts
Podcast reviews are a public, visible way to share what you think about a show — its content, how it sounds, and what it’s like to listen to.
Podcast reviews are a public, visible way to share what you think about a show — its content, how it sounds, and what it’s like to listen to. They help other listeners discover great podcasts and give creators a friendly pat on the back (or some helpful advice).
It’s worth knowing that reviews can’t be removed by the show that receives them, and podcasters aren’t able to reply. So if you spot a typo, have a complaint, or find a bug, we recommend messaging the podcaster directly through their website, social media, or email so they have a chance to respond and put things right.
