How do I move from Transistor to Buzzsprout?

You can move your show's hosting from Transistor to Buzzsprout while keeping your existing episodes, listings, and listeners! We'll walk you through the process here!

Prepare Your New Buzzsprout RSS Feed

Start by signing up and setting up your Buzzsprout account. This will generate your new RSS feed, which you'll use to update podcast directories. We’ve laid out the full process in our guide about moving your podcast to Buzzsprout.

Reach out to us at support@buzzsprout.com if you have any questions along the way!   

Redirect Your Transistor RSS Feed

Once you've set up your Buzzsprout account, you'll need to redirect your Transistor RSS feed. This allows you to keep your existing listings and followers. Here's how:

  1. In Transistor, head to the Settings page in the bottom left of the navigation menu, and then the RSS Feed tab. CleanShot 2025-11-20 at 13.48.53@2x.png

  3. Back in Transistor, paste your Buzzsprout URL in the Permanent Redirect (301) of your RSS feed to another URL section.    CleanShot 2025-11-20 at 13.53.10@2x.png
  4. Press Save Changes and confirm the change. 
Now your redirect is in place! 🎉

We recommend keeping your Transistor account active for two weeks to ensure all directories have time to see the redirect. Now, you can post new episodes and updates in Buzzsprout, and they will show on your listings! 

Analytics From Transistor

You'll notice that the analytics from your Transistor account don't transfer over automatically to Buzzsprout. Because of this, we recommend saving your stats from your Analytics page on Transistor.
