Updating your official website link on podcast players

Every podcast app reads a website link from your RSS feed — it's how players like Apple Podcasts and Spotify point listeners to your official website. By default, most hosting providers set this link to their own mini-site for your podcast, which mainly benefits them. Point it at your Podpage instead so listeners land on your real website.

Important: You're only changing the website address listed in your host's settings. If you see instructions about changing DNS settings, you're in the wrong place — don't change anything about your domain name.

Using a different host?

Look for a "website" or "show website" field in your host's podcast settings — it's usually under feed or advanced settings. If you can't find it, reach out through the chat button in your dashboard and we'll help you track it down.
