How to Switch to RSS from Simplecast

Today I’m sharing how to switch your podcast from Simplecast to RSS. When you switch to RSS.com you enjoy unlimited episodes, a terabyte of bandwidth each month, cross-platform analytics, and a free public website for your show.

While you’ll get similar features with Simplecast, you’ll pay more per month with them than you do with RSS.com. And, we won’t cap your growth and charge you more based on your number of listeners! Ready to switch? Here’s how.

With the RSS.com Podcast Transfer Tool, it’s easy! You can get there from RSS.com by clicking Switch to RSS at the top of the page. Once there, you’ll enter your Podcast Name or the RSS feed from your Simplecast account, and then click Switch my Podcast. Next, enter the email address that you used to sign up with on Simplecast, and click Let’s Go!

RSS will now do the heavy lifting of importing your episodes to your new RSS account on your behalf. Once the process is complete, login to your new RSS.com account to get your RSS feed from your podcast dashboard. You’ll need this to complete your transition from Simplecast to RSS.

Now head over to your Simplecast account, log in, and click “Distribution Settings” in the top right hand corner of your dashboard. Next click Advanced Settings from the RSS Feed menu. Then, paste your RSS.com feed address into the “RSS Feed Redirect” field, and click “SAVE.”

Your Simplecast RSS feed should now redirect to RSS.com, and you can enjoy your new podcast hosting account with us. We’re glad you’re here and we look forward to watching your podcast soar. Thanks for tuning in!
