How To Update a Podcast for Authors

In this guide

If you are a podcast creator, at some point, you may need to change or update your podcast’s information, including its feed URL and cover artwork.

We do not have accounts for authors or even a user-facing dashboard where you can manage your podcast’s information on our platform. In most cases, our system picks up changes you make directly on your feeds. The process is automatic, although it does not run immediately after you make changes.

If you still have access to your old RSS feed, you can add a redirect to it so that our system is able to automatically update your podcast listing to use the new feed URL. You can find more information about this in the following support article: Podcast feed redirection.

If you no longer have access to your old RSS feed, we will be happy to look into making the necessary changes for you. Please reach out to us with the following information:

  • Old RSS feed URL
  • New RSS feed URL

Our system automatically picks up changes to your podcast artwork, although not immediately.

If you’re checking on the Android or iOS apps, you may need to give the app up to 24 hours to update automatically. You can hurry the device along, however, by going to Profile > Settings (gear icon) > Appearance, and clicking “Refresh All Podcast Artwork.”

If you’re on the web app, you’ll need to clear the browser cache for the new artwork to appear.

If you’re still not seeing your new artwork in Pocket Casts after some time, please get in touch with the following information:

  • RSS feed URL
  • A description of the old artwork
  • A description of the new artwork or even a file that shows us what it should look like

If you find that something still needs to be updated in your podcast’s listing on Pocket Casts, we’re here to help you check if it’s an update we can make. Please contact us with as many details as you can provide, including:

  • RSS feed URL
  • The old information that needs to be updated
  • The new information you’d like to see
