Transferring ownership of a podcast in Apple Podcasts Connect

If you need to transfer the management of a podcast from one Podcast Connect account to another, you can use either of the options described below.

Option One: Apple Claim Token

Apple provide a simple way to transfer ownership of your show, outlined here.

1. Follow the steps outlined by Apple to claim an existing show via your Apple Podcast Connect account.

2. Once you have generated a token in Apple Podcast Connect, log into Omny Studio within seven days, before the token expires.

3. Head to the Advanced settings expander on your Playlist Details page.

4. Add the token in the Apple Claim Token field.

5. The token will be added to your RSS feed, and within 24 hours Apple Podcasts will verify and transfer the show to your account.

Option Two: Use a transfer code

1. Contact Apple Support here (alternatively you can email PodcastSupport@apple.com)

2. Apple Podcast Support will then send through a six-digit code with a message like this: "To transfer management of a podcast in Podcasts Connect, please complete the following step: Insert the six-digit authorization code “123456” in one of your podcast’s tags: <itunes:keywords>, or copyright.”

3. We recommend using the copyright tag, which you can access from the Advanced Settings section of your Program Settings.

   

4. Once you have made and saved the change, let Apple know and they will take care of the rest.
