Migrate your podcast from Simplecast

Move your podcast and episodes from Simplecast to Castos.

On the Imports page, click Import A New Podcast.

Enter your current Libsyn podcast RSS feed URL. Castos will check if the RSS feed is valid or not. If the RSS feed is valid, you'll  see Valid RSS feed URL!. Click Import:

From your Castos dashboard, click Settings to open the Podcast Settings page:

Select the Feed Details tab and enter the details not included in the RSS feed migration (categories, host metadata, etc.)

Click Save Podcast Details

Select the Distribution tab and copy your podcast's new RSS feed URL link:

Redirect the RSS feed

Redirecting the Simplecast RSS feed to your podcast’s new feed in Castos is similar to having your mail forwarded to a new home address.

In other words, until Apple Podcasts and other podcast listening platforms have had a chance to update their system, you want them to be forwarded (redirected) to your new RSS feed at Castos if they look to Simplecast for your podcast.

Sign into your Simplecast dashboard and select the podcast's settings icon:

2

From Show Settings, select Distribution → Advanced Settings:

Then paste your podcast's new Castos RSS feed URL in the RSS Feed Redirect text box and click  Save:
