Media host provider libsyn offers a number of podcast players you can quickly embed on almost any website.
If you can embed a YouTube video on your website, then you can do this too.

Step 1: Log into your account
Step 2: Go to Content > Previously Published (or Scheduled)

Step 4: Scroll down to find the player you want, then click “Preview/ Get Embed Code”.
We will use the Custom player in this example:
Step 5: Copy the iframe code. Paste the code in a blog post or page on your website.

Tip: You can also embed a Category Player, or what I call the Library Player.
It lists all your episodes, or you can have it display only certain episodes on one post or page.

too bad WordPress does not allow you to embbed the Libsyn player tho (for “security reasons”)
Hi RJ. I haven’t heard of anyone else having problems embedding the libsyn player on their WordPress sites. I have a few sites that do this and we haven’t had any issues.
Can you give me more details about what you are seeing?
As far a I can figure it out, I can only embed a Libsyn player in my WordPress site if i have the correct plugin but I don’t have plugins on my plan (it would cost me about an extra £150GB per year to get the on the appropriate plan). It does let me embed a Soundcloud player though which doesn’t make sense. Beginning to regret my choice of going with WordPress.
Hmmm. You don’t use a plugin to copy/paste html/iframe codes into a WordPress page/post – or even a SquareSpace page/post. I’m not sure why your site isn’t letting you do that.
Are you using the Block Editor or Classic Editor on your WP site?
I would like to embed a player so all episodes are available, not just embed a single episode. is there a way to do this, Steve!?
Hi Aromathrive. Yes, you absolutely can. Check out this video about the Category Player: https://stevestewart.me/how-to-use-libsyn-categories/
