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
Login to your WordPress Admin.
Go to Podcasting > Settings.
Click on the Feed Details tab.
If you have multiple podcasts, select the Podcast Title you want to move.
Look for the checkbox: "Redirect this feed URL" or "Feed Redirection."
Paste your Acast RSS Feed URL into the text box.
Crucial: Ensure the redirect type is set to 301 (Permanent) if a dropdown is available.
Click Save Settings.
Step 4. Update your podcast feed in Apple Podcasts Connect
Log in to Apple Podcasts Connect.
Select your show from the dashboard.
In the left-hand sidebar, go to Show Information.
Find the RSS Feed URL field. Click Edit.
Paste your new Acast RSS URL.
Click Save. Apple will validate the feed instantly. It will show a "Scheduled for Update" status, and changes usually propagate to the app within 1–6 hours.
How to Confirm Your Redirect is Working
Open your web browser and enter the address of your old Castos 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 Castos account for a month after switching to ensure that the redirect is successful.
