Once the import is complete, and you've updated Apple Podcasts, you'll be able to cancel your old Blubrry account.
Step 1: Log into Transistor and click "Add show"
In the "My Shows" menu, click "Add show." You'll see a screen that looks like this:

Step 2: Search for your podcast
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
