Change podcast website on iTunes?

Question

Change podcast website on iTunes?

Hey everyone, I have another issue. On iTunes, is there a way i can change the website that iTunes directs too when "website" is clicked? For instance, on my podcast, the milk and cookies podcast, when you click the "website" link it directs to our feed url, http://milkandcookies.podbean.com/. We would like it to direct to our blog, http://milkandcookiespodcast.tumblr.com/. Any ideas on how to make this possible? Thanks!

This information is carried in the 'link' tag in the top section of your feed (between the 'channel' tag and the first 'item' tag): this page includes a sample basic feed so you can see what it looks like:

If you are writing your own feed just change this and re-upload. If you are using a program or online service to make your podcast you will need to find out where this information is entered and change it there.

Thanks once again! I am using podbean so I will try to figure out if they even let you edit the feed. Hopefully it will work out! Will also post findings.

This would work i assume, sadly, you need to upgrade to a paid account. O well, worth a try!

sadly, you need to upgrade to a paid account.

Do you? Did they refer you to the instructions here (second item down)?

Yup, it wont let you enter text into the field. So, upon clicking the question mark i receive this text "Set the podcast site url in rss feed to another site instead of your Podbean site( http://milkandcookies.podbean.com)
Function start from Podbean Advanced. Upgrade now!"

I see - they want to limit it to themselves. I suppose you get what you pay for.
