Podcast setup

Since podcasting is at the core of our product, we work hard to make the process of connecting podcasts as easy and streamlined as possible. Once you add your podcast, you'll easily find all episodes, artwork/thumbnails, audio players, reviews, subscribe buttons and more content we're able to pull-in automatically.

You can import your podcast upon creating a new website (during the site setup wizard), or otherwise just import your podcast at any time through the main "Podcasts" screen in your dashboard instead.

3 Options for connecting your podcast

1. The easiest way to add your podcast is to search for an existing one in the form seen above. Once you find your show, click on it and hit the "Import" button.
2. If your podcast is private or cannot be found via the search, you can always import a show by pasting the RSS feed URL. (To enable the RSS feed URL input, click on the gray link right below the search box)
3. If you don't have a podcast yet, or the feed is not accessible, you can create a new feed manually by clicking on the link right below the "Import Podcast" button. This would create a blank feed with no episodes, but you can get started with that until you have a working feed, then just replace it whenever you are ready.

Your site will automatically import new/future episodes as you publish them, so every time you release a new episode, it would automatically be imported onto the site for you - you don't have to create the episodes pages yourself!

Once you import your podcast, the homepage would instantly populate with your episodes and podcast details, simply refresh your homepage and you'll be able to start sharing your site in no time.

Editing the Podcast Information

When you connect a podcast, we automatically import the title, artwork, description and a lot more data. If you want to edit any of the above, or add more info about the podcast hosts, link social networks or subscribe buttons, you can do that by going to the "Podcasts" screen, and click on the "Edit Podcast" icon (second button from the left on the podcast card) -

In addition to the "Edit Podcast" icon, you'll a button to view all episodes, one for reviews, and one to delete the entire podcast and episodes that are linked to it.

Migrating from one podcast host to another

If you're migrating all your episodes from one podcast hosting provider to another, some of your data might need to be refreshed with the new info. Once you've migrated to the new provider, you have to update your podcast as described above, and re-save it with the new RSS feed URL:

The next step would be to force a refresh of all your episode audio URLs, artwork images, and GUIDs.

Forcing a re-sync won't override any of your custom episode data (like show notes, guests, titles, categories etc.), but would only update data that is dependent of the host you're currently using. (like the audio file URLs, thumbnail URLs, GUIDs and more)

This can be done by clicking on the "Force Feed Re-Sync" link at the bottom -
