  Hello! I’d like to embed the following link: https://anchor.fm/krystal-st-john/episodes/The-Journey-of-Jewel-enh0fu

  but it seems as though Anchor.fm is not supported by WordPress. Is there any other way to embed this on my blog?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, so you want to embed a podcast in your site? Have a look at this guide to podcasting on WordPress.com https://wordpress.com/support/audio/podcasting/

  Since it looks like there’s a feed on your podcast page, perhaps this guide will be helpful https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/podcast-player-block/

  Post back here if you have more questions.

  Hi there,

  Anchor.fm doesn’t support oEmbed – that’s what’s needed to embed content using a link only. If they did support oEmbed, it would almost certainly have been supported natively in the WordPress software itself already.

  I’ve added a feature request for Anchor.fm support, but until they first add oEmbed support on their end, we won’t be able to add support for it them on ours.

  Meanwhile the HTML embed code they offer on their side can only be used here on our Business Plan.

  Hi @kokkieh, I noticed on the Anchor.fm site the OP linked to, they offer an RSS feed. Would it be possible to use that with the Podcast Player block? TIA

  Ah, I missed that. It works for me on a test site, yes.

  I see this particular podcast is also on Spotify, so one could embed either the whole podcast or individual episodes from there as well:
