Embed players let you place a playable version of your podcast directly on your own website or blog. This makes it easy for listeners to stream your show or individual episodes right from your website - no app download or external link needed. Embeds can help increase engagement, keep visitors on your site longer and promote your content more effectively.

Common ways creators use embed players:

  • Feature your latest episode on your homepage or blog

  • Create a dedicated “Listen” page on your site

  • Embed players in newsletters or landing pages


Where to find the Episode Embed Player

You’ll find the embed player and its code on the episode detail page in Creator Lab.

  1. Navigate to the Episodes tab.

  2. Click into the episode you want to embed.

  3. Scroll to the Embed player section on the episode page.

Once you open the Embed player menu:

  1. Preview your episode player

  2. Click Copy Embed code.

  3. The full <iframe> embed code is copied to your clipboard automatically.

    • The code is not previewed inline; you’ll paste it into your website or CMS to see it in action.

You can reuse this code anywhere that supports HTML embeds.

Note: The embed player section does not appear while you are first creating a new episode. It becomes available after the episode has been created and saved.


Where to find the Playlist Embed Player

  1. Navigate to the Platforms tab in Audacy Creator Lab.

  2. Scroll slightly to the Player section.

  3. Click Copy Embed code.

  4. The full <iframe> embed code is copied to your clipboard automatically.

This version embeds a player that features all of your episodes, automatically updating as you release new episodes. The most recent episode will be displayed at the top.


Draft and scheduled episodes

The embed player behaves differently depending on the state of your episode.

Draft episodes

You can access the Embed player section on the episode page even when the episode is in draft status, as long as you have uploaded the episode's audio.

The Embed player menu will be hidden if you have not yet uploaded audio.

Scheduled / future publish time

If your episode is scheduled to publish in the future, you can still copy and place the embed code on your site early (for example, to prepare a blog post in advance).


Subscribe links (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.)

The episode embed player links to your show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify

When Creator Lab determines your show’s subscription links, the corresponding buttons appear on the player.


How to embed the player on your website or CMS

The exact steps will vary by platform, but the pattern is similar:

Squarespace

  1. Edit the page where you want the player to appear.

  2. Add a Code block.

  3. Paste the iframe code you copied from Creator Lab.

  4. Save or publish your changes.

WordPress (classic editor)

  1. Edit the post or page.

  2. Switch to the Text / HTML tab.

  3. Paste the iframe code where you want the player.

  4. Update or publish the page.

WordPress (block editor / Gutenberg)

  1. Edit the post or page.

  2. Add a Custom HTML block.

  3. Paste the iframe code.

  4. Preview and then publish/update.

Custom site or other CMS

  • Paste the iframe code into any area that supports raw HTML (e.g., HTML widgets, code modules, or templates).
