How to redirect your podcast from SoundCloud

Modified on Wed, 24 Jan at 2:47 PM

Have you recently migrated your show from SoundCloud 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 SoundCloud 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. Log in to your SoundCloud account, and click the 3 dot drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner



2. Select "Settings"


3. Select the "Content" tab, and enter your new RSS.com feed URL in the “Subscriber redirect” field (how to find your RSS.com feed URL)



4. Click the "Save Changes" button to activate your redirect



Testing your redirect


If you want to check your redirect to make sure it's working properly, copy your SoundCloud RSS feed address, 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 SoundCloud and delete the redirect. To delete, simply remove the feed URL from the "Subscriber redirect" field and click "Save changes."
