How to embed a podcast in Ghost?
Ghost
is an open source blogging platform and a great alternative to WordPress and Medium.
You may want to add podcasts, episodes, or playlists to a post on Ghost,
so your audience can directly listen to podcasts right there.
Approach 1: Copy and paste the URL
You can just copy and paste the url of a podcast page (Example),
an
episode page (Example),
a
clip page (Example),
or a Listen Later playlist page (Example)
to the Ghost editor. The url will automatically become an embedded playlist or an episode player.
Ghost interacts with Listen Notes URLs via OEmbed API in order to retrieve all the correct settings automatically and serve podcasts (or episodes, or playlists) in the best way possible.
