From Libsyn

Your zPod RSS URL

In checklists, paste your zPod RSS URL. That looks like https://rss.podfora.com/{slug}-{feedId}.

Copy your zPod RSS URL. That looks like https://rss.podfora.com/{slug}-{feedId}. rss.zpod.cc is a backup host and 301s to the matching rss.podfora.com URL. Prefer rss.podfora.com for directory submissions and new integrations.

Leave Libsyn

Import on zPod first, then redirect. These are leave-host steps. Directory portal work lives on Directory Updates.

1. 1. Move all content to zPod before you close the Libsyn show. After close, content access ends (the redirect can remain).
2. 2. In Libsyn open Settings → Redirects (or Advanced Tools → Feed & Website Redirects).
3. 3. Paste your zPod RSS URL into the feed redirect field and save.
4. 4. Close the show only after the redirect is confirmed.
5. 5. If Libsyn originally submitted the show to Apple under Libsyn's Apple ID, contact Apple Podcasts Support to transfer ownership. Do not resubmit — that creates a duplicate.

Pitfalls

• Not all directories follow redirects. Plan manual Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon updates.
• Closing mid-month: content disappears after the last calendar day of the month; the redirect stays.
• Save analytics before close. A $5 plan may block analytics export.
