Integrating Deezer Podcast Hosting with WordPress

I'm currently running a gaming focused on Minecraft, featuring a specialized tool for circle generation. As part of our community engagement, we've recently ventured into podcasting, where we discuss various aspects of Minecraft, gaming strategies, community stories, and more.

Our team is considering using Deezer as our primary platform for hosting these podcast episodes. However, we're looking for some guidance on how to effectively integrate Deezer-hosted podcasts onto our existing WordPress website. Our goal is to create a seamless experience for our community members who visit our site, allowing them to easily access and listen to our podcast episodes directly from our website.

Here are some specific questions we have:

  1. Integration Process: What is the step-by-step process to integrate Deezer-hosted podcasts into a WordPress site? Are there specific plugins or widgets recommended for this purpose?

  2. User Experience: How can we ensure a smooth and user-friendly experience for our website visitors when accessing the podcasts? For instance, is there a way to embed a podcast player or create a dedicated podcast section on our WordPress site?

  3. Content Management: Once integrated, how can we manage our podcast content on Deezer in a way that updates are reflected in real-time on our website? Is there an automatic synchronization feature, or do we need to update the website manually each time we upload a new episode?

  4. Analytics and Tracking: Does Deezer provide any analytics for podcasts, and can these be integrated into WordPress for tracking listener engagement and other metrics?

  5. Community Feedback: We would also love to hear any success stories or challenges faced by others who have undertaken a similar integration. Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support. We're excited about the potential of enhancing our community's experience through this integration and look forward to your expert insights.

Best regards,

Kiwn

Hi @kiwnjey, thank you for your message, and we appreciate you choosing Deezer to publish your podcast.

Feel free to submit your podcast by sending us the RSS feed

Here are the technical details:

  • Ensure episodes are at 128 kbps (recommended) and in MP3/FLAC format.
  • Use a square cover image (1400x1400 pixels) in PNG format.
  • Make sure the RSS feed complies with RSS 2.0 standards (refer to the provided list).
