Move your podcast and episodes from Buzzsprout to Castos

To ensure the process goes smoothly, we suggest validating your RSS feed before importing your podcast into Castos: Validate your RSS feed

6

Click Save Podcast Details

7

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

Note: The amount of time it takes to migrate your podcast will vary from a few minutes to several hours depending on the number and length of episodes.

Redirect the RSS feed

Redirecting the Buzzsprout RSS feed to your podcast’s new feed in Castos is like having your mail forwarded to a new address.

Until Apple Podcasts and other podcast listening platforms have had a chance to update their system, we want them to be forwarded (or redirected) to your new RSS feed at Castos if they look to Buzzsprout for your podcast. 

 

1. Log into your Buzzsprout dashboard and click Podcast Settings:

2. Select Cancel / Redirect Podcast (don't worry, clicking this button won't affect your podcast's availability)

3.Select Redirect your podcast feed to follow the onscreen prompts :

NOTE: We recommend waiting 2 weeks before cancelling your account with Buzzsprout. This will give all the podcast listening platforms enough time to pick up on the changes and move your podcast subscribers to the new RSS feed.
