How do I redirect my Blubrry podcast feed?
After importing your podcast into Transistor, set up a 301 redirect on your old Blubrry feed so it points to your new Transistor feed. Your existing subscribers and podcast app listings then follow you automatically, so you don't lose anyone.
Export your Analytics
It’s a good idea to export any analytics from your podcast at this point. Analytics don't move between hosts, so it's good to keep a copy for your own records.
How to redirect your feed from Blubrry to Transistor
In Transistor, open your podcast, go to the Distribution tab and copy your new RSS feed from Your RSS Feed. You'll need it for the redirect.
Each podcast host has their own instructions on redirecting a feed. For Blubrry you can refer to their guide.
For Blubrry users using WordPress & PowerPress they recommend the following steps:
- In your WordPress Admin panel go to Plugins > Add New
- Search for the Redirection plugin by John Godley and install it
- In the Tools menu of WordPress, click on the Redirection plugin
- Click the blue buttons until installation steps are complete
- In the Redirection plugin click Add New
- Enter in the settings for the redirect:
- Source URL: If your feed is at yourdomain.com/feed/podcast/ type /feed/podcast/ into the Source URL field
- Target URL: Copy and paste your full Transistor RSS feed into the target URL box.
- Save the settings and test if the redirect is working
What if I no longer can access my Blubrry account?
If you no longer have an account with Blubrry you can still contact their support directly and ask for them with help enabling a 301 redirect depending on your WordPress / PowerPress setup.

What does a 301 redirect do?
A 301 redirect for your podcast RSS feed is very useful when you move to a new podcast host. It ensures that any subscriber or podcast platform still using your Blubrry feed won’t be faced with a broken link. Enabling a redirect means that your existing subscribers will stay subscribed and podcast directories can continue to pick up your new episodes.
A redirect is like leaving a forwarding address. It lets anyone using your old feed know where you have moved to.
How long does a 301 redirect last?
Almost all hosts keep the redirect in place permanently after you leave. With few exceptions, this is the industry standard.
How long does it take to enable a 301 redirect?
A redirect should be active within a couple of minutes of it being applied to your podcast feed, however sometimes it can take longer. Podcast directories will be able to pick up your new episodes from Transistor the next time they check your feed. That’s usually within 24 hours of your redirect being active.
How to test if a 301 redirect is working?
If you visit your podcast feed link in a browser, it should automatically redirect to your Transistor RSS feed.
What happens if I don’t forward my old feed from Blubrry?
If you choose not to redirect your podcast, you may need to complete a few extra steps.
Without a redirect existing subscribers won’t know where you have moved to. They will need to manually re-subscribe to your new Transistor podcast feed. So be prepared to share your new feed to win back your subscribers.
Without a redirect podcast directories like Apple and Spotify will still be using your old Blubrry feed. To fix that without a redirect you’ll need to manually go to those platforms and update the feed they are using for your podcast.
