Moving from Spreaker

This guide covers one step of your move: telling Spreaker 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.
• Save your stats from Spreaker’s Statistics page. Analytics 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 and open your Spreaker dashboard at spreaker.com/cms/shows.
2. Select your show and click View and Edit.
3. In the left menu, click RSS settings.
4. Scroll to the Manage RSS section.
5. Turn on the Redirected option. A New feed URL field appears.
6. Paste your Pod Promo feed URL and save.

The redirect goes live within a couple of minutes.

One extra step Spreaker offers

Spreaker also has an iTunes New Feed URL checkbox in the same RSS settings. Turn it on and paste your Pod Promo feed URL there too.

This adds a special tag to your old feed that tells podcast apps to switch over. It’s belt-and-suspenders on top of the redirect — set both.

After the redirect is live

• Check it worked. Paste your old Spreaker 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.
• Keep your Spreaker account active for at least two weeks after redirecting. Spreaker doesn’t promise the redirect survives account deletion, so don’t delete the account in a hurry.
• Already deleted your account? Contact Spreaker support and ask them to enable the redirect for you.
