Move from
Fireside.
A Fireside show moves by import, then RSS Feed Redirection under Dashboard, Advanced. Fireside says the redirect only works while the podcast still exists there. Podhome does not delete the Fireside copy.

Import.
Then redirect.
Podhome copies the show. Fireside keeps its copy. Listeners follow the old feed until you set a redirect there. The click-by-click version for every host is the move guide.
1. Import into Podhome
- Sign up. The trial is 30 days of the same $15.99 plan. Checkout is on the pricing page.
- Choose import, search the podcast name, or paste the RSS feed. If the feed is locked, unlock it at Fireside first. If the feed contains an email address, Podhome sends a message to confirm you own the show.
- Podhome copies audio, artwork, and Podcasting 2.0 data present in the feed, and keeps existing show and episode GUIDs when they are present. Nothing is deleted at Fireside.
- Wait for the email from support@podhome.fm, then check episodes and show settings before you redirect.
2. Redirect at Fireside
Fireside’s article on switching to a new host lists the steps. Go to Dashboard, Advanced, and set Locked Podcast to Unlocked so Podhome can import the feed. After the import looks right, go to the RSS Feed Redirection section on the same page, switch it to Enabled, paste the Podhome RSS URL, and save.
Fireside says the redirect only works while the podcast still exists at Fireside, and recommends keeping the redirect and the podcast active for at least 30 to 60 days. Podhome’s guide says about two weeks. Use the longer window. Podhome does not delete the Fireside files.
Fireside: switching to a new host
- Copy the Podhome RSS URL from the dashboard or the Distribution page. It looks like https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/ followed by your show id.
- Paste that URL into the redirect setting at Fireside. Apps and directories then follow the new feed. They do not need a new subscription.
- Optional: in Apple Podcasts Connect, refresh the show. A small edit to the description can prompt directories to fetch again.
- Wait about two weeks before you cancel Fireside, so the redirect has time to propagate. Questions go to support@podhome.fm.

Questions, answered
While the
feed moves.
Does Podhome delete my Fireside show?
No. Import copies the feed. The Fireside podcast stays in place until you change it at Fireside.
When do listeners move?
When RSS Feed Redirection at Fireside points at the Podhome RSS URL. Until then, apps keep using the Fireside feed.
When should I cancel Fireside?
Fireside says the redirect only works while the podcast still exists there, and recommends at least 30 to 60 days. Podhome’s guide says about two weeks after the redirect. Use the longer window.
What if the import cannot see the feed?
Set Locked Podcast to Unlocked under Dashboard, Advanced at Fireside, then paste the RSS URL into Podhome’s import search. Email support@podhome.fm if the feed still will not import.
