About this plugin
Buzzsprout is the easiest way to host, promote, and track your podcast. This is the official Buzzsprout plugin for WordPress: connect your show once with your RSS feed URL, then embed episodes anywhere on your site using native editor blocks.
Buzzsprout Player block
Embed any episode with Buzzsprout’s audio player.
- Always play the latest episode — set it once and your page updates itself every time you publish
- Or pick a specific episode with a searchable picker covering your whole catalog
- Live player preview right in the editor
- Paste an old [buzzsprout] shortcode and it converts to a Player block automatically
Buzzsprout Episode List block
Show your episodes, your way:
- Playlist player — Buzzsprout’s multi-episode player; show all episodes or the 5, 10, or 20 most recent
- Simple list — a clean, theme-matching list of titles with dates and durations; visitors click an episode to expand its player in place
- Filter by tags — either display can be limited to episodes with specific tags, so you can build pages per topic or season
Both blocks preview live in the editor, work in the Site Editor and block themes, support wide/full alignment and spacing controls, and inherit your theme’s colors.
Classic tools, still supported
- The [buzzsprout episode='123'] shortcode from earlier versions keeps working unchanged
- Classic-editor users can still pick episodes from the Add Media window
Setup
No API keys, no configuration maze: paste your Buzzsprout RSS feed URL (Settings → Buzzsprout Podcasting) and you’re done. Episodes are fetched from your feed and cached for 15 minutes.
