This one loop will most prob­a­bly change the most useful pieace of code i can rec­om­mend of.

This would pull an rss of your choice and list the number an item you choose.

(the list markup seems the rea­son­able one to use but this up to your needs)

<ul>
<?php // Get RSS Feed(s)
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
$rss = fetch_rss("[YOUR FEED HERE]“);
$maxitems = [YOUR NUM OF ITEMS];
$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $maxitems);
?>
<ul>
<?php if (empty($items)) echo ‘<li>No items</li>’;
else
foreach ( $items as $item ) : ?>
<li><a href=’<?php echo $item['link']; ?>’ 
title=’<?php echo $item['title']; ?>’>
<?php echo $item['title']; ?>
</a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

There are plenty of free pod­cast­ing ser­vices out there(1 2 for exam­ple) but they tend to always come with tones of com­mer­cial and just an over­all awk­ward interface.

You can pod­cast with word­press, qute easily, and inte­grate it with your word­press driven site.

All you need is your site to be self hosted, on your own server space - not on a free 3rd party sup­plier - essen­tially word​press.com and you’re good to go.

1. make a new cat­e­gory and call it podcast
2. pub­lish a new post in that cat­e­gory and include a link to the pod­cast file in there when­ever you want to pub­lish a new episode
3. grab the feed for that category
4. reg­is­ter that feed as a pod­cast feed on feed­burner , as it would give you loads of tools, most notably easy sub­scrip­tion to itunes for your listeners.

You’re done. hit me if you have any questions.
