Simple and to the point
It does the job as good as (not even better) as paid plugins. And doesn't pollute the page with branding messages either. Thank you guys!

Best podcast player for Wordpress
This is the by far the best podcast player I have found for Wordpress sites. It ticks all the boxes for me with a modern customizable podcast player with all the features you need. And it can bring in all your podcast episodes as wordpress posts (or custom post type) which is great for SEO and for having an individual landing page for each episode on your website. Love this plugin!
