    I don’t see a way to add show notes to the player. We are using the transcript add on and it works fine, we can see links to the transcripts under player.

    Also, why are there no ‘share’ options or buttons, so a listener can easily SHARE the show?

    Last question, if you add a place under and on top of player to insert banner codes or ad codes and put in a refresh that part of the player to show fresh ads every 30 or 60 seconds, then you would rule podcasting as the ultimate player to monetize podcasts.

    I’ve never seen any podcast player pull in ads and then refresh them.

    Since people are listening long periods of time it could do great.

    But I guess most people don’t listen and look at a player, they multi task and do other things while listening, but ad rotation above and below a player even for 1 ad each spot could help monetize podcasts.

  • Hello @1webdesigners,

    There is not a way to add show notes to the actual player, but to add show notes for a podcast episode, that content can be added to the editor window of the Podcast post just like you would add any other content to your site. While there is no specific feature to combine adds and the player, you can place ads on the podcast page. You can add feature requests at https://feedback.castos.com/ and the team would love to hear from you.

    For subscribe buttons, there are links that are a part of the player and you can set them to display with the player. That option is under Podcast > Settings > General > Display Links.

    We’re nearly ready for beta testing a plugin update that has the ability to add new subscribe buttons to the front end (below the player). If you’d like to be part of the beta program please let us know by replying here.
