How to add a podcast player to a Wix site from your RSS feed

Short answerKarelia Podcast Player reads your show's RSS feed and shows your episodes in a player that fits your Wix site. New episodes appear by themselves.

The problem

Your podcast lives with a hosting service, but your listeners also come to your website. A pasted embed has to be redone for every episode. A player fed by your RSS feed does not.

Add the player

  1. Add Karelia Podcast Player from the Wix App Market.
  2. In the editor, choose Add, then Apps and place Podcast Player on a page. Until you add your own feed, a sample show shows how it will look.
  3. In the settings, paste your show's feed address or a link from a podcast directory.
  4. Choose a layout: latest episode with a list, a simple list, a grid of cards or one single episode.
  5. Set colors, fonts and the subscribe buttons, then publish.

Check the feed first

The dashboard has a feed checker. It tells you in plain words about problems such as a missing cover image or an audio file that will not play, so you can fix them before visitors see them.

One episode in a blog post

Every episode has its own link, and the single episode layout puts one episode inside a blog post or page. Listeners can skip, change speed, resume where they stopped and subscribe in their podcast app.

The Free plan shows your latest 10 episodes. Pro adds the full archive with search and seasons, chapters, transcripts, search markup and several shows in one player.
