Merge option for podcasts with updated RSS feeds
I have several "duplicate" podcast shows because the producer switched from soundcloud to Libsyn to host their show. But the creators neglected to include their back-catalogues when they changed hosting services, so I keep the old feed around to hear back episodes.
The result is that I have duplicate entries for some of my favorite podcasts, with only one of the two successfully updating.
I'd like to merge the old episodes into the new feed, if that would be possible. I'd buy the app all over again to do clean up my library!
You can try unsubscribing from the NEW feed, then long press on the OLD feed and select Custom settings. From there you can edit the feed url and enter the NEW rss feed url.
This might create some duplicated entries if they changed some episodes unique ids but then you will have every episodes of the podcast under a unique podcast entry

Thanks! That solution worked pretty well. I lost all the episodes from the "new" version of the podcasts, but I can re-download those pretty easily.
