How to move your show

Step 1. Create an account.

Create your account here, if you haven't already.

Step 2. Import your podcast

The first page you'll be brought to after creating your account will prompt you to Create New Show or Import existing Show.

If your podcast has already been submitted to Apple Podcasts, you can easily search for the podcast and select it for import.

Otherwise, you'll need to retrieve your RSS feed URL in the input field.

Step 3. Redirect your show

  • Log in to your Soundcloud account.

  • Click the three dots (...) in the top-right corner of the header.

  • Select Settings from the dropdown menu.

  • Click the Content tab at the top of the Settings page.

  • Find the field labeled Subscriber redirect.

  • Paste your Acast RSS feed URL into this box.

  • Click Save Changes.

Important Note: Even after you redirect your feed, we recommend that you keep your original service for 1 or 2 weeks longer just to be sure that all of your followers have migrated over.

How to Confirm Your Redirect is Working

  • Open your web browser and enter the address of your old SoundCloud URL, and hit enter. If the redirect is working, you will be taken automatically to your new Acast feed URL.

  • If you are not taken to this new Acast feed URL, then wait ten minutes, clear your browser cache (or open in incognito/private mode) and try again.

Done!

Remember: it’s important that you keep your SoundCloud account for a month after switching to ensure that the redirect is successful.
