Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

Hey Podcasters!

If you’ve ever tried embedding an episode in WordPress, you know it can take more clicks than it should.

A small update to your site can turn into a lot of bouncing between menus just to get one episode in the right place.

So we gave the Buzzsprout WordPress plugin a much-needed refresh.

Now you can add an episode with a slash command, choose the player size, and embed your latest episode, a specific episode, or a playlist right inside the editor.

And for the first time, Buzzsprout embeds work on WordPress.com, too.

If you already use the plugin, update to ​version 2.0.0​ to try it out!
