Do you currently host a podcast with RedCircle, but want to move to Springcast? Then you can easily use our import function. Then follow the steps to successfully move your podcast to Springcast!
PLEASE NOTE: Make sure you have access to Spotify for Podcasters and Apple Podcasts Connect. You can report your move here (in step 5). Don't have access to these dashboards? Then first claim your podcast on Spotify and Apple before you start the move.
1. Import your podcast
Follow these steps to first import all episodes from RedCircle:
2. Click 'Import podcast' in the top right corner.
3. Enter your current RSS-feed from RedCircle and click the button to start the import.
2. Export your statistics
It makes sense to export the statistics you have already built up with RedCircle. You do this just before moving to Springcast so that the statistics are still up-to-date. You do not take these statistics with you to Springcast.
1. Log in to your RedCircle account
2. Click on your podcast
3. Scroll down and click on 'Analytics'
4. Click on the arrow below each diagram to download a particular report

3. Copy the Springcast RSS-feed
Now it's time to copy your Springcast RSS-feed. You will need it to pass on the move to RedCircle.
Now go to the 'Distribution' tab and click the 'Copy' button next to the RSS link.
4. Report your move to RedCircle
NOTE: after placing the redirect, the statistics in Spotify for Podcasters will be set to 0 at episode level. Should you want to keep these statistics, make sure you create an export before placing the redirect. Your general show-level data, such as streams, listeners and followers, will be retained and continue after placing the redirect. NOTE: After placing the redirect, the URLs to the podcast pages and the embedded players of RedCircle may no longer work. Do you use this? Then make sure you replace them with Springcast's URLs or embedded players before placing the redirect or as soon as possible after placing the redirect.
Did you check everything when importing your podcast and did you export the statistics? Great! Then it's time to let RedCircle know you are moving. You do this by placing a 301 Redirect.
For this, you'll need the Springcast RSS-feed you copied in the previous step.
The steps:
1. Log in to your RedCircle account
2. Click on your podcast
3. Click on the three dots to the right of your podcast title
4. Click on 'Remove Podcast'
5. Choose 'Redirect Podcast'
6. Fill in the details and provide the RSS feed from Springcast you copied in step 3
1. Log in to your RedCircle account
2. Click on your podcast
3. Click on the three dots to the right of your podcast title
4. Click on 'Remove Podcast'
5. Choose 'Redirect Podcast'
6. Fill in the details and provide the RSS feed from Springcast you copied in step 3
5. Notify Spotify and Apple of the move
Notify your podcast distribution apps (such as Spotify and Apple) of the move. Learn how to adjust your RSS-feed with Spotify and Apple here.
We advise you to close the RedCircle account not immediately, but 2 weeks after the move. This gives the directories time to direct listeners to the right (new) feed. Do not cancel the subscription/account with RedCircle until you are sure that the above steps have been successfully completed.
