Looking to move your podcast from Shortwave to another platform? We’re sad to see you go, but we can make the migration process easy, and make sure your listeners don’t experience any downtime.

Resubmitting your feed
In order to get your new feed to propagate more quickly, it’s a good idea to also resubmit your feed URLs to the different podcast listing providers. You can follow our guides on how to resubmit your podcast.
