Moving from Podbean

Set up the feed redirect that sends your Podbean listeners to Pod Promo.

Last updated

This guide covers one step of your move: telling Podbean to forward your old feed to Pod Promo.

Do this after your episodes have finished importing into Pod Promo. Not there yet? Start with the full migration guide.

Before you start

  • Finish your import on Pod Promo and check that every episode made it.
  • Download your analytics from Podbean. Stats don’t transfer between hosts.
  • Copy your new Pod Promo feed URL. It looks like https://podpromo.ai/your-show-slug/feed.xml — you’ll find it on your show’s Distribution page.

Set up the redirect

  1. Log in to your Podbean dashboard.
  2. Go to Settings, then Feed.
  3. Open Advanced Feed Settings.
  4. Paste your Pod Promo feed URL into the field labeled Redirect to a New Feed.
  5. Click Update Options to save.

That’s it — no confirmation email or extra steps. (Change your mind later? Delete the URL from that field and save again.)

After the redirect is live

  • Check it worked. Paste your old Podbean feed URL into a web browser. It should forward you to your Pod Promo feed.
  • Update the big directories by hand too — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music. The main migration guide shows you where. This matters extra here, because Podbean doesn’t say in writing how long redirects last after an account closes.
  • Keep your Podbean account alive for at least a month after redirecting. Podbean’s docs don’t promise the redirect survives cancellation — if in doubt, ask their support before deleting anything.
  • Used a custom domain with Podbean? That domain forwards separately from the feed redirect — set up forwarding wherever the domain is managed.
