WP Briefing episode link doesn't embed

[bph]

I tried to use an Embed block to share the episode no. 36 of the WPBriefing podcast The embed block gave me the error message: "Sorry, this content could not be embedded."

The browser console didn't reveal any additional information for the error message.

Expected something like this:

I think this would be a great update for folks who want to be able to share the podcast more easily. Is it something that's an issue in the theme or with the podcast plugin?

This appears to be a combo of two issues:

• The code we've got on WordPress.org to present podcasts as /2022/08/podcast-name like posts doesn't account for podcasts in embed requests, so it's not able to find the podcast to embed (This causes the could not be embedded error)
• The plugin doesn't have any embed styles for podcasts, if it worked, this is what the embed content would look like on sites: https://wordpress.org/news/2022/08/episode-37-the-world-of-wordpress-on-world-wide-web-day/embed/

We can easily fix the first, but the second will obviously need more work.
