How do I import my podcast from Soundcloud?

Are you currently hosting on Soundcloud?


Here's why Transistor is a great alternative to Soundcloud


You can easily import your podcast into Transistor!


Step 1: find your podcast's RSS feed in Soundcloud.


Now, we'll need to find your Soundcloud podcast's feed URL. 


  1. Go to the Settings the menu
  2. Click on the Content
  3. Copy the RSS feed.



Step 2: switch to Transistor and add a new show


In the "My Shows" menu, click the green "Add a show" button.


You'll then see a screen that looks like this:



Under "Import an Existing Podcast" click the blue link that says "I'd rather enter my RSS feed directly."


Paste in your Soundcloud feed URL.


Step 3: import your Soundcloud feed


Once you've pasted in your Soundcloud feed, click "Begin Import."


You'll receive a verification email to the email address used in your Soundcloud RSS feed.


Once you've verified ownership, we'll import everything from Soundcloud:


  • All your show information
  • Your cover art
  • All of your audio files
  • All of your episode information


We'll notify you when your import is complete.


Step 4: wait while we import your show


Our system will import your feed into Transistor. Depending on the number of episodes you have, this could take awhile! We'll email you when it's done.



Step 5: success! Find your new RSS feed URL on Transistor


Once your show is imported, you'll be able to view your show on Transistor (with all of your previous episodes) plus grab your new RSS feed URL:



Step 6: Redirect your old SoundCloud feed to your new Transistor feed


In your SoundCloud account, input your Transistor feed in the “Subscriber Redirect” field.


Step 7: update your RSS feed URL on iTunes Podcast Connect


Log into your account on Apple's Podcast Connect



You're all done! 


You might need to be patient while those changes propagate in iTunes.
