You’ve got something to say about podcasts and you want your readers to hear the shows for themselves. RadioPublic’s user-friendly embed player has you covered. Just look at (or better yet, listen to) this beauty:

OK, great — but how do you get these show and episode embeds into your WordPress posts (or pages)? It’s a pretty straightforward copy-and-paste job, but if you’ve never added raw HTML code into WordPress before, here are the step-by-step instructions:

Psst… want to embed podcasts on a different platform? Here are the instructions for Medium, Squarespace, and all other publishing platforms.

1 First, if you haven’t already done so, get the embed player code for the show or episode you want to add to your post.

2 Next, go to your Wordpress editing screen and switch from the “Visual” tab to the “Text” tab.

3 Scroll down until you find the spot where you’d like to insert the embed player.

(If you find this challenging — perhaps because your page contains a lot of other HTML code, or because it’s a long article, you can always switch back to “Visual” view and add a string of characters like “%%%%%%%%%%%” that will be easy to spot.

(P.S. You can switch back to “Visual” view anytime.)

That’s it! You’re now a podcast embedding wizard. Pretty sure I can hear your readers applauding from here.
