Is there downtime for listeners if I switch podcast hosting?

When switching podcast hosting providers, there should be no downtime for your listeners.

By implementing a 301 redirect from your old RSS feed to the new one, your subscribers on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts won't notice the change. They'll continue to receive new episodes seamlessly. Once the redirect is active, it will automatically forward your existing subscribers to your new host.

From the listener's perspective, the transition should be seamless.
