Move to Podhome
Move from
Riverside.
A Riverside show moves by import, then a redirect you set under Hosting, Podcast, while a paid plan is still active. Podhome does not delete the Riverside account. Do not delete that account before the redirect is saved.

Import.
Then redirect.
Podhome copies the show. Riverside 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 Riverside 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 Riverside.
- Wait for the email from support@podhome.fm, then check episodes and show settings before you redirect.
2. Redirect at Riverside
Riverside’s move article says to finish setup at the new host first, so you have the new RSS URL. Import into Podhome and check the episodes before you touch the redirect.
The article lists the redirect for Pro, Grow, Webinar, and Business, in a computer browser. Log in, open the studio, open the account menu at the bottom left, choose Settings, then Hosting, then Podcast. Next to Redirect your podcast, choose Redirect, paste the Podhome RSS URL, check the box that says “I understand Riverside will no longer be my podcast host,” and choose Redirect again. Riverside says the change can take up to an hour, and that most listening apps update within 24 to 48 hours, though some take longer.
Podhome’s guide still says to wait about two weeks before you cancel the old host. Cancelling Pro, Grow, or Webinar downgrades the account to free. A free account with no login, recording, share, or export for 120 days is deleted, with its content. Deleting the account before the redirect means the feed can no longer be redirected. If the redirect is already saved, Riverside’s delete-account article says it stays in place. Deleting the account also removes a show Riverside submitted to Apple Podcasts or Spotify. YouTube episodes are left in place. Podhome does not delete the Riverside account.
Riverside: move your podcast hosting
- 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 Riverside. 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 Riverside, so the redirect has time to propagate. Questions go to support@podhome.fm.

Questions, answered
While the
feed moves.
Does Podhome delete my Riverside show?
No. Import copies the feed. The Riverside show stays until you redirect it, and until you later cancel or delete the Riverside account yourself.
Where is the Riverside redirect?
Account menu, Settings, Hosting, Podcast, then Redirect your podcast. Paste the Podhome RSS URL from your dashboard or Distribution page. Riverside’s article lists this on Pro, Grow, Webinar, and Business. Set it before you cancel.
When can I delete the Riverside account?
After the redirect is saved, and about two weeks after that, so directories can follow it. Riverside says a redirect already in place stays after deletion, and that you cannot redirect once the account is gone. If Riverside submitted the show to Apple Podcasts or Spotify, deleting the account removes it there. A show you claimed yourself has to be updated in those dashboards.
What if I cancel and walk away?
Cancelling Pro, Grow, or Webinar downgrades the account to free. The inactive-account policy then applies: 120 days without a login, a recording, a share, or an export, and Riverside deletes the account and its content. Keep the account through the two-week window, and do not treat cancellation as the redirect.
The import cannot find my episodes.
Paste the Riverside RSS URL into Podhome’s import search. A locked feed has to be unlocked first. Write to support@podhome.fm if it still fails.
