New and Noteworthy is selected by a small team of 2 at Apple. The prerequisite to being featured is:
- Have a good deal of subscribers
- Beautiful show art
- The launch was within the last 8 weeks
Once you’ve done all of this, submitted and published your podcast RSS feed, what’s keeping you from the billboards?

The science behind New & Noteworthy is challenging because I’ve seen shows in New & Noteworthy with far fewer reviews, downloads and that don’t even have podcast art! So what gives?
I’m exploring it, but as of now, it’s a mystery to me. Do you have any ideas or hints? If you do, please leave a comment below.
