ProCast Player is a new WordPress plugin that creates a feature-rich media player for your podcast website. From The ProCast website:
…ProCast Player is a podcast player that plays the most current episode or audio file from your feed. It can be fully customized to match your websites branding, fits perfectly into your WordPress sidebar so that it displays on every page of your site, and includes an innovative rating feature that builds both social proof and your email list at the same time, and even integrates with popular email marketing service providers like Aweber and Mailchimp.
Once you have it set up, there is literally nothing more you need to do – it will automatically pull your latest podcast and play it for your website visitors!
ProCast Player uses an inline five-star ratings system for each episode of your podcast, along with e-mail collection, podcast subscription and social media sharing options. The look of the player can be customized to match your website’s current design and branding, and you also have control over which subscription and sharing options you’d like to include. For example, you can add direct links to your podcast RSS feed, iTunes and Stitcher so listeners can easily subscribe to your show, right there from the ProCast Player.
