Moving your podcast from Art19 to Springcast

Moving your podcast from Art19 to Springcast

If you are currently hosting your podcast with Art19 and want to move it to Springcast, you can simply use our import function. Follow the steps below to make sure your move to Springcast is successful. 

1. Import your podcast





To import all episodes from Art19, follow these steps.

1. Go to your Springcast account or create an account
2. Select 'Add Podcast Show' in the top right corner and then select 'Import Podcast'
3. Paste your current RSS feed from Art19 and select 'Start Import' 

2. Export your statistics

It is wise to export your Art19 statistics. Make sure you do this before you move to Springcast. This way, your statistics will remain up-to-date. Unfortunately, you won't be able to bring your Art19 statistics with you to Springcast.

1. Log in to your Art19 account
2. Go to your dashboard and statistics
3. Export all desired statistics

3. Copy your Springcast RSS feed



Now it's time to copy your Springcast RSS feed. You need this to notify Art19 of the move to Springcast.
Go to the 'Distribution' tab and select 'Copy' button next to the RSS link.

4. Report your move to Art19

NOTE: After placing the redirect, the episode level statistics in Spotify for Podcasters will be set to 0. If you want to keep these statistics, make sure you make an export before you place the redirect. Your general show-level data, such as streams, listeners, and followers, will be retained after placing the redirect.

Checked everything when importing your podcast and exported the statistics? Well done! Now it's time to let Art19 know you're moving. You do this by placing a 301 Redirect. This is a permanent redirect from one URL to another. You will need the Springcast RSS feed you've copied in the previous step.

At Art19 you cannot place the redirect yourself, but you can ask them to do this for you via chat (on the website) or via e-mail. The e-mail address is support@art19.com.
Indicate in your message that you want to place a redirect and also add your old RSS feed (from Art19) and your new RSS feed (from Springcast) to the message.
Wait for confirmation from Acast before going to step 5.

5. Notify Spotify, Apple and Google of the move

Notify your podcast distribution apps (Spotify, Apple, Google) of the move.

Only cancel your Art19 subscription if you are sure that the above steps have been successfully completed.
