Easily set up multiple podcast feeds using built-in WordPress posts. Includes a podcast block and podcast transcript block for the WordPress block editor (aka Gutenberg).
Podcasting is a method to distribute audio messages through a feed to which listeners can subscribe. You can publish podcasts on your WordPress site and make them available for listeners in Apple Podcasts and through direct feed links for other podcasting apps by following these steps:
From the WordPress Admin, go to Podcasts. To create a podcast, complete all of the "Add New Podcast" fields and click "Add New Podcast".
Repeat for each podcast you would like to create.

The Featured section of Pocket Casts is human-curated. To ensure that all podcasts have an equal opportunity at being featured, selections are made on the basis of merit.
If you’d like to suggest your podcast for a featured spot, reach out to curation@pocketcasts.com.

If you want to adjust the default number of episodes included in a podcast RSS feed, then utilize the following to do so...
<?php
add_filter( 'simple_podcasting_episodes_per_page', 'podcasting_feed_episodes_per_page' );
/**
* Filter how many items are displayed on the feed
* Default is 250
*
* @param int $qty Items count.
* @return string
*/
function podcasting_feed_episodes_per_page( $qty ) {
return 300;
}
The <title>
element of the RSS feed can be adjusted using the simple_podcasting_feed_title
filter.
<?php
add_filter( 'simple_podcasting_feed_title', 'podcasting_feed_update_feed_title', 10, 2 );
/**
* Filter the name of the of the feed channel
*
* @param $output Output to be modified.
* @param $term WP_Term object representing the podcast
* @return string
*/
function podcasting_feed_update_feed_title( $output, $term ) {
$term_name = $term->name;
return '10up Presents: ' . $term_name;
}
If you want to modify RSS feed items output, there is a filter for that:
<?php
function podcasting_feed_item_filter( $feed_item = array(), $post_id = null, $term_id = null ) {
if ( 42 === $post_id ) {
$feed_item['keywords'] = 'one,two,three';
}
return $feed_item;
}
add_filter( 'simple_podcasting_feed_item', 'podcasting_feed_item_filter', 10, 3 );
Stable: 10up is not planning to develop any new features for this, but will still respond to bug reports and security concerns. We welcome PRs, but any that include new features should be small and easy to integrate and should not include breaking changes. We otherwise intend to keep this tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.
