If my podcast was already listed on Apple Podcasts when I had a different hosting provider, do I need to resubmit it to Apple Podcasts when moving hosting?

No, if your podcast was already listed on Apple Podcasts when you moved your hosting to Zencastr from another provider, you do not need to resubmit it.

The 301 redirect from your previous host will ensure your audience follows you. Additionally, you should update your RSS feed in Apple Podcasts Connect to indicate that Zencastr is now your hosting provider.

To update your RSS feed in Apple Podcasts, log into your Apple Podcasts Connect account. Select your podcast and under ‘Show Information’ click Edit next to your RSS feed. Paste your Zencastr RSS feed in the ‘URL’ field and click Save.
