Very exciting for me... 1st time I've deployed the show.fm podcast player on my own site. I like it. There's a bigger version, but I like this narrow one!

The show.fm podcast player on the WP Builds website.

Podcasting can be a lonely business, but not if your team joins you! show .fm allows you to create teams and they can participate in the episodes you create. Much better. Much more social !

Have a podcast? Want to start one? The show.fm 'Founders' offer is three years of our Studio plan. It includes podcast hosting, analytics, and some AI tools for managing episodes. There's way more as well. We'd rather be funded by 100 podcasters than one investor. show.fm/founders
