# How do I remove my podcast from directories like Spotify and Apple Podcasts?

###### How to remove your podcast from podcast directories

You can delete your podcast from Transistor and podcast directories will eventually remove the listing from their directory, once they notice the RSS feed no longer exists. However this can take some time. 

It is much quicker to remove the listings for Spotify and Apple Podcasts first, prior to deleting your podcast from Transistor. 

###### Spotify

You can reach out to us on Live Chat or on email support@transistor.fm. We can send a request to Spotify to remove your podcast listing immediately.  

Alternatively, if you have access to [Spotify for Podcasters](https://podcasters.spotify.com/) dashboard you can send a direct message to Spotify to ask they take your listing down. 


**Apple Podcasts **

To remove your listing from Apple Podcasts: 

* Login to [Apple Podcasts Connect](https://podcastsconnect.apple.com) 
* Select your show from your dashboard
* Under **More Actions** click **Archive Channel**
* Confirm you wish to archive your channel
* Click **Archive** 

Here's Apple's own guide on [Archiving a show.](https://podcasters.apple.com/support/901-archive-or-restore-a-channel-podcast-or-episode)


###### How to remove my podcast from Transistor

Once the show has been deleted, the RSS feed no longer exists. Directories will start to notice and will remove the show listing. Some directories may take longer than others. Any listings that are still accessible after several weeks, log a ticket directly with the podcast directory to remove the listing. Or you can reach out to us on Live Chat or by email support@transistor.fm
