So, you're moving to Acast. Smart move. Acast makes it so easy to move your podcast, show notes and followers with no downtime. So, let's get started.
Step 1. Sign up for an Acast account
You can see all the great options for hosting your podcast here. Choose the option that is right for you and open your account. Then, log into that account.
Step 2. Start the import of your show
The first screen you'll see on Acast is this—two BIG buttons—one of which says Import Existing Show.
If your show is already on Apple podcasts you can search for the name and it will come up from that directory. If not, you can enter your existing podcast RSS feed URL, which you can find within your Megaphone dashboard.
Redirect your feed from Omny to Acast

Click on Save Changes
Important Note: We recommend keeping your old hosting account active for at least a month.
How to check if your redirect is complete
Omny may send you a confirmation if the redirect has been done. However, you can check it's been completed yourself by inspecting your RSS feed.
Open a new browser tab and paste your old RSS URL. If the redirect has completed successfully, you should be taken automatically to your new Acast RSS feed. Note: Google Chrome in Incognito Mode is recommended for inspecting RSS feeds.
If you have any issues, feel free to contact Acast Support.
