One of the great features this WordPress Podcast theme has is the possibility to generate a RSS Feeds. To have your podcast listed on iTunes and Apple Podcast, Podbean, Spotify and Google Podcasts (to name a few), you will need to provide them a RSS link.

Automatically upload new podcast to WordPress site

If you are using a third-party podcast publisher to host your audio files (such as Libsyn, Podbean, Castos, Buzzsprout, etc), you can keep your WordPress website synchronized with it! Simply set up a scheduled cron-job (all details and hows-to are provided in our knowledge base), and every time you post a new episode on your third-party publisher, the episode will show up on your WordPress Podcast website! Podcasting with WordPress will be easier than you think.

Host podcast with WordPress or use external feed stream! The choice is your.

If you decide to self-host your audio file on WordPress, it’s probably because you want to avoid the monthly fees of third-party publishers. You already have a web server so why don’t you use it to host your podcast? There are several pros and cons about hosting your podcast on your own server. If you have enough bandwidth to cover your downloads, then you should be fine.

A quick way to see how much bandwidth you will be using is to calculate the total number of downloads you have per month by the size of your audio file. So if you have 2500 downloads a month and your episode file is 85mb, it means you will be using 212GB of bandwidth.

In 2019, web hosting is cheaper, faster and better than ever. We recommend Cloudways as one of the best WordPress hosting in the world right now. Their starter plan cover 1TB of bandwidth (which means 1000GB). That’s enough to cover 12 000 episode downloads! There are also other great WordPress hosting that cover unlimited bandwidth!

That being said, if you don’t want to self-host your audio files for some reason, this WordPress Podcast theme got you covered: You can use external audio files to stream podcast directly from your podcast host which mean you will not be using bandwidth, storage and server performance!

The downside is that you will be paying additional fees for an external host and not all podcast host allows you to listen the hosted files on other websites. The current supported host we have tested so far (but not limited to) are: Icecast, Libsyn, Stitcher, Buzzsprout and Radio.co
