    Hello. I am trying to bring a clients podcast from iTunes into their WordPress site by letting them post the podcasts that they want in their blog. Basically they have about 15-20 podcasts already on iTunes and now they want to incorporate them into their WordPress site. I figured I would make a Podcasts category for posts and let them post them that way. However, I am not familiar with the best way to go about this and was hoping to hear any suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Thanks for the reply. However, I don’t want to publish these podcasts with WordPress as they are already published to iTunes. I just want to play them in the WordPress site from iTunes, if that’s possible. Is this possible with the Blubrry plugin? Seems like everything I read is talking about hosting your podcast somewhere, like Blubrry, and then publishing it within WordPress and pushing it out to other avenues such as iTunes to get them published there. Am I just not understanding or over thinking this?

    I just found out that I think the client is already hosting their podcasts with something called Podbean. Any advice with using that?

    Okay, so to answer this question for myself and anyone else, I was totally overthinking it. If your podcast audio file is already hosted somewhere and already pushed out to iTunes or whatever like my client’s podcast, and you just want to play it on another WordPress site, you just have to make sure you have access to the link path to that audio file so you can copy and paste it into your WordPress post. WordPress automatically adds it as a player for people to listen to it. If more features are needed, you might need to go a different direction. But this should work for basically wanting to stream a podcast from your WordPress post. If someone has any other advice, I’m all ears.
