When the RSS URLs get changed for whatever reason and redirects (301 or 308) are put in place, AntennaPod will update the feed location in its database. This works since version 1.4; earlier versions of the app will just follow the redirect but not update the database. For any version of the app earlier than 1.4, if the old URL stops working, AntennaPod won't be able get updates any-more.
There are still a significant number of people that run old versions of AntennaPod. If the redirects are taken offline as well, some users will likely stop receiving your podcast. It's something you should probably plan for when making the change. You may even want to tell people in the podcast that they may have to update the URL they're using before the old one stops working.
