Recommendations for podcast

Can anyone offer tips or recommendations for a publii site for a podcast? I would like to embed an audio player that will update automatically when I change the rss feed. I would also like to host the rss feed on the website (rather than with the podcast host who will have the audio files).

For suggestions on hosting a podcast RSS on Publii, see: https://gist.github.com/candidexmedia/743c1128e272f155ecab5b4d4324e6ee (I believe this was my answer to your previous forum question 🙂)

In terms of audio players: Shikwasa is a pretty solid looking audio player for podcasts:
- Source code: https://github.com/jessuni/shikwasa
- Demo: https://shikwasa.js.org/
Downside: It won’t be able to create a live, up-to-date playlist of all your episodes (at least not yet).

For an embedded playlist with all episodes: the only other way I could think of would be to embed iframes for websites that fetch external feeds or host podcasts. Based on this list, it looks like Castbox might be a good option for an embeddable player that updates based on the feed.

Well, I was planning on using Zapier to create a zap that would be triggered every time i upload new files to the podcast host. That way the feed on the publii site will be updated automatically. Not sure if it will work, but we’ll see.
