Submit the Frontier Commits RSS feed to Spotify as a public podcast

[schmug]

Task

Once the Frontier Commits RSS feed is live with at least one episode, submit it to Spotify (Spotify for Creators) so the show is publicly listed — the same public-podcast treatment the daily show has.

Context

Frontier Commits distributes RSS-first (save-to-spotify deprecated for this show). Submission is a human account action; this issue tracks prerequisites and records the outcome. Depends on the page+RSS issue in this repo and on the first real episode shipping from schmug/clodcast.

Checklist (prerequisites, verify each before submitting)

• Feed URL live and valid (validate with castfeedvalidator or podba.se)
• At least one episode with a working enclosure URL (byte-range requests served by R2)
• Square artwork 1400-3000px referenced in the feed (show cover is 1400x1400 JPG)
• itunes:owner email present (clodcast@cortech.online) and inbox reachable — Spotify sends a verification code there
• Category, language, explicit tag set
• Submit at creators.spotify.com, complete email verification, record the public show URL here

Constraints

• The submission itself is done by the account owner; agents prepare and verify the feed only

Acceptance

• Public Spotify show URL recorded in this issue; feed auto-updates on new episodes (Spotify polls RSS)

Out of scope

Apple/YouTube/other directories (file separately if wanted)

Triage note from concern triage (source: https://github.com/schmug/agent-notes/issues/18, session 4ac4cff5-dd94-4c24-8183-e3219bc58a46, 2026-09-02):

A prior session called this issue "likely just stale and closeable." That verdict rested on a 2026-08-24 memory note saying the show went live — not on any check that Frontier Commits is actually listed on Spotify. Spotify was never queried.

Recording it here so the next reader doesn't inherit the verdict as fact: confirm the listing before closing this. If the show is listed, close as completed; if it isn't, the issue is live and the memory note is wrong.
