In this article we'll explain how to change your RSS feed at Spotify. Say you've registered your podcast show with Spotify, but you want to change your RSS feed because you've moved to another podcast host. In order to make sure you're podcast is still visible on Spotify, you need to take the following steps below. This way you're audience can keep listening to your podcast and your show statistics won't get lost.
IMPORTANT: Do you want to adjust your RSS feed because you moved from Anchor (now Spotify for Podcasters) to Springcast? Probably, with the posting of the redirect (Anchor feed to Springcast feed), it is no longer necessary to adjust your RSS feed. Still, always check that the correct RSS feed is in your account and change if necessary (see step 2 in this article).
