How to Set up a 301 Redirect on your Podcasts? – Podcasts

You're the owner of a podcast that is currently hosted on a platform and are in the process of moving it? You've come to the right place! The first step is to import your podcast data into the new host.

The second step is to set up a 301 redirect for your previous podcast Host RSS feed to the new RSS Feed URL. This 301 redirect is something that tells Podcast Directories and Services that list your podcast for listeners to consume your content, such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify

that your feed has moved and to "look" at a new RSS feed for your podcast.

Note: Do not delete your Podcasts account until you have redirected to your new host. You will need to initiate a 301 redirect to your new host first for other Directories and Services to recognize the move.
