Redirect Podcast Feed URL

After you’ve imported your podcast episodes into PodOps Hosting with the RSS Feed Transfer Tool, you’ll want to redirect your old RSS feed to your new PodOps Hosting feed. This will ensure that all of your current subscribers and podcast listings will look to your PodOps feed for new episodes and updates. 

Here are instructions on how to redirect your feed from common hosting providers.
