Significant changes coming from Apple this time around. Categories are changing and that includes throwing some out, adding new ones and a bit of consolidating. Podcasters don’t need to worry, Blubrry has it all taken care of on their end. But stick around for suggestions on what to do if a new category would be in your best interest.
More than that, PowerPress was updated again for this category change and some other cool features. They chat about other podcasting news, and have an extraordinary interview with Kami Guildner you don’t want to miss. Thanks for joining us on this episode of Podcast Insider.
Interview:
Kami Guildner – Extraordinary Women Radio

- Migrate the media (also within PowerPress)
- Once that is done, do the 301 redirect. Try to leave this in place for 30 days if you can.
- Also, set the “iTunes new feed URL” tag (in PowerPress settings > Apple Tab) to your new PowerPress based RSS feed.
- Publish from PowerPress/WordPress for any new episodes.
