Importing your podcast from Blubrry or Powerpress (migration instructions)
You can easily transfer your podcast from Blubrry or Powerpress to Transistor.
Once the import is complete, and you've updated Apple Podcasts, you'll be able to cancel your old Blubrry account.
In the "My Shows" menu, click "Add show." You'll see a screen that looks like this:
You're going to be using the "Import an Existing Show" section.
If your podcast is currently on Apple Podcasts, you can just search for it:
If your show isn't on Apple Podcasts, click "I'd rather enter my RSS Feed directly" and paste in your podcast's RSS feed.
You'll be asked to verify your ownership (we'll send a verification email). Once verified, we'll start to import everything from Blubrry:
All your show information
Your cover art
All of your audio files
All of your episode information
You'll need to contact Blubrry Support to get them to forward your old feed to your new Transistor feed: https://blubrry.com/support/support-request/
