Move to Podhome
Move from
Captivate.
A Captivate show moves by import, then Captivate’s Moving option, which sets the redirect and closes that show on Captivate. Import and check the episodes before you do that. Podhome does not delete the Captivate account.
Choose monthly or yearlyTwo steps, in order
Import.
Then redirect.
Podhome copies the show. Captivate 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 Captivate 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 Captivate.
- Wait for the email from support@podhome.fm, then check episodes and show settings before you redirect.
2. Redirect at Captivate
Captivate’s cancel-show article, updated 21 March 2025, says to move the episodes to the new host and check them before you cancel the show on Captivate. Download the analytics you want first. Captivate says analytics do not transfer.
In that podcast’s settings, open Cancel Show and choose Moving. Paste the Podhome RSS URL, pick the host (Other, if Podhome is not listed), and confirm the two boxes: the 301 redirect, and that dynamic ads or other dynamic content have been removed. Then choose Move Podcast. Captivate says the show is then redirected, and that closing it removes dashboard access for that show unless other shows are still active.
Deleting is a different button. Captivate says Delete removes the show from Captivate and from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other apps. Use Moving when the show should stay live. After the show is closed, cancel the Captivate billing account if no shows remain. Wait about two weeks after the redirect before that cancellation, so directories can follow it. Podhome does not delete the Captivate files.
Captivate: cancel or move a show
- 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 Captivate. 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 Captivate, so the redirect has time to propagate. Questions go to support@podhome.fm.

Questions, answered
While the
feed moves.
Does Podhome delete my Captivate show?
No. Import copies the feed. Captivate keeps the show until you choose Moving or Deleting in Captivate. Moving sets the redirect and closes that show’s dashboard. Deleting removes it from the listening apps. Choose Moving.
When do listeners move?
When Captivate’s Moving step saves the Podhome RSS URL as the redirect. Until then, apps keep using the Captivate feed. Check the imported episodes before you click Move Podcast.
Do I have to remove dynamic ads first?
Captivate’s article, updated 21 March 2025, asks you to confirm that dynamic ads or dynamic content have been removed before the redirect. Do that in Captivate, then redirect.
When should I cancel Captivate billing?
After the redirect, and about two weeks later, which is the timing in Podhome’s move guide. If other shows are still on the account, Captivate says billing continues. Questions go to support@podhome.fm.
