Importing a show from RSS

If you already host a podcast on Buzzsprout, Acast, Anchor, or anywhere else, you can mirror the entire feed into Zayvay without re-uploading.

From Forge, click New Canvas → Import from RSS. Paste the feed URL. Zayvay reads the feed and lists the episodes — you pick how many to import (latest, all, custom range).

What happens:

• Each episode becomes a ZIP Canvas on your Vault.
• The audio bytes stay on your existing host — Zayvay doesn't copy them.
• Only the waveform, transcript (if you add one), and Echoes data live on Zayvay.
• New episodes from your RSS feed pull in automatically once a day. You can also force a refresh.

This is the easiest way to bring an existing show to Zayvay. You keep your existing hosting, your stats, your distribution everywhere else — and you add Zayvay as another listening surface that pays you and your listeners.

If your feed needs auth (private feed, paid feed), contact support before importing. The standard import expects a public RSS URL.
