What you need to know

Interactive Apple Podcasts can now be embedded into web pages for the first time.

Apple is now making Apple Podcasts available as an embeddable player, allowing creators to embed them into web pages wherever they see fit. Podcasts can then be played right from the page without needing to open another app.

Any podcast currently available via Apple Podcasts can be embedded, including our very own.

Creators also get the chance to customize the player, controlling how wide and tall it is when displayed.

Creators can make their own embedded podcast player by heading to the Apple Podcasts Marketing Tools site.

First shared by TechCrunch, the new feature is easy to use and could potentially enable podcasts and podcasters to capture an audience that might otherwise have been lost.

He has also been published in print for Macworld, including cover stories. At iMore, Oliver is involved in daily news coverage and, not being short of opinions, has been known to 'explain' those thoughts in more detail, too.

Having grown up using PCs and spending far too much money on graphics card and flashy RAM, Oliver switched to the Mac with a G5 iMac and hasn't looked back. Since then he's seen the growth of the smartphone world, backed by iPhone, and new product categories come and go. Current expertise includes iOS, macOS, streaming services, and pretty much anything that has a battery or plugs into a wall. Oliver also covers mobile gaming for iMore, with Apple Arcade a particular focus. He's been gaming since the Atari 2600 days and still struggles to comprehend the fact he can play console quality titles on his pocket computer.
