Hello, Deep V Podcast.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you want to change your RSS Podcast feed. Here is the information that will help you make that change.


Changing Your RSS Podcast Feed URL

You can move your podcast feed from one location to another. To avoid losing subscribers, you must announce the change directly to all users who are subscribed to your feed. To do so, you should:

  • – Use the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag described in the iTunes RSS Tags section below.
  • – Set your web server to return an HTTP 301 redirect response when receiving a request for the old feed.

This will update the iTunes Store with the new feed URL and your subscribers will continue to receive new episodes automatically. Be sure to maintain the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag and the HTTP 301 redirect response for at least 4 weeks to ensure that most subscribers have attempted to download your most recent episode and have thereby received the new URL.

If you need additional help, contact us. Include the iTunes Store link to your podcast, which you can get by clicking the triangle next to your podcast’s Subscribe button in the iTunes Store.


Working with iTunes


Cheers
