I am moving the feed and the new feed is available on my website”.

4. Upload the “normal” version to your Omny account and the “announcement” version to your old hosting account and publish.

5. Upload your next episode to Omny and publish. Upload one more episode to your old host that says, “This feed has moved. To continue listening to this show, please go to <web address here> and resubscribe.”
