Moving from Transistor

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

Last updated

This guide covers one step of your move: telling Transistor 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 Transistor. 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 Transistor dashboard.
  2. Open your podcast and click the Settings tab.
  3. Scroll down to the RSS Feed section.
  4. Find the field labeled Permanent Redirect (301) of your RSS Feed to another URL.
  5. Paste your Pod Promo feed URL into it.
  6. Save your settings.

That’s it. The redirect starts working right away.

Transistor’s redirect is free and permanent — it keeps working even after you cancel your account. This is the most generous policy of any major host.

After the redirect is live

  • Check it worked. Paste your old Transistor 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.
  • Wait two weeks before canceling your Transistor plan, so every podcast app has time to notice the change.
