If you are currently hosting your podcast on LaunchpadOne and would like to migrate to Podbean, please follow these steps:


1. Sign up for an account and select "Import Existing Podcast" on the initial page.

    Already have an account? Create a new channel to import an existing podcast. Podbean supports users in creating and managing multiple podcast channels under one account.



2. From your Podcast Dashboard, click “Import existing podcast”.


This option will disappear from the main page once you finish your first import, but you can always find this option to import your podcast in “Settings”-->“General“-->“Import to Podbean”.



3. On the "Switch to Podbean" page, choose "RSS Feed URL" as your content source.



Follow the Instructions to Import Your Existing Podcast to Podbean


Step 1: Enter your RSS feed URL and click on the 'Next' button.



Step 2:  Proceed to set up the import options, and click the "Import" button. 

  • Choose to import podcast information and Apple Podcast settings from the RSS feed.
  • If your audio file isn't .mp3, choose to convert it to .mp3 during import.
    ( Check this if you want to submit your podcast to Spotify via Podbean. (Spotify only accepts .mp3 file format.)


Step 3: Set up 301 Redirect and Complete Import.

After setting up the 301 redirect, click the 'Check Redirect' button. If the redirects function properly, Podbean will proceed to import your media files into the Podbean media manager.


To make sure various directories have had time to update to your new podcast feed location, we recommend you keep your LaunchpadOne account live for a few weeks after the redirect is complete. After that, you can log in to LaunchpadOne and deactivate or delete your account.
