How Do I Redirect My Podcast From Buzzsprout?

Have you recently migrated your show from Buzzsprout to RSS.com? Great! Now make sure directories and listeners can find you at your new home at RSS.com by placing a redirect on your Buzzsprout account. 

Important: Do not place a redirect until your podcast is fully migrated to your new feed at RSS.com. To learn how to import your feed, read our article "How do I import my podcast from a different hosting provider?"

Redirects work like mail forwarding; They send anyone accessing your old podcast feed URL to your new feed URL. A redirect will also update all the podcast directories you distribute to, so you don't have to reach out to each one individually. We suggest keeping a redirect active for at least 45 days to make sure directories and listeners have time to be updated with your new address.

Where do I place the Redirect?

1. Access your Buzzsprout account

2. Go to Podcast Settings

3. Click on the Cancel/Redirect Podcast tab. 

4. Select the "Redirect and downgrade" option

5. Add your new RSS.com feed URL inside the field "Your new feed URL"

6. Select the checkbox to approve the redirect

7. Click "Redirect RSS Feed and downgrade to the Buzzsprout free plan"

Testing your redirect

If you want to check your redirect to make sure it's working properly, copy your Buzzsprout feed URL, and paste in a new tab of your browser. If the address automatically brings you to your RSS.com feed address, then it's working properly!

Removing your redirect

Once enough time has passed for directories and listeners to redirect to your new feed address, you can cancel any subscriptions still active on Buzzsprout and delete the redirect. To delete, simply remove the feed URL from the "Your New Feed URL" field.
