Rebranding podcast with new name/graphic
« on: June 18, 2018, 10:26:23 am »
Hi there. Very satisfied customer here. We are rebranding our podcast which is currently titled "The Sit and Spin Room with LOLGOP & Eclectablog" to "The GOTMFV Show". Besides the new name, we'll have a new graphic but it's essentially the same podcast. What's the best way to go about this so we don't lose the listeners we already have? Can we keep the same iTunes page and maintain our current Bluburry pod or do we need to start a new one?

If you're not getting a new domain name that'd cause your feed URL to change, all you have to do is make the necessary changes within the settings of the PowerPress plugin. The changes will then get picked up by most syndication points (Apple Podcasts, etc.) within 24 hours or so. You won't need to do anything else.

If you're going to move your current site to a new domain name, you will want to implement a 301 redirect from the URL of the old feed to the URL of the new feed:
