Church sermon player for WordPress — host your audio, embed the player, keep listeners on your site. Works for schools and radio stations too.

Your listeners shouldn’t have to leave your website to hear you. iRadeo hosts your audio and embeds a player directly on your WordPress page — so every sermon, announcement, and broadcast lives on your site.
For churches: Publish your full sermon archive, add new messages each week, and keep your congregation on your site instead of third-party platforms that show unrelated ads. Standard and Ultimate plans include AI voice generation for service announcements, event reminders, and ministry updates — type the text, iRadeo reads it aloud. No recording equipment needed.
For schools: Broadcast morning announcements, student radio, and weekly audio recaps directly from your school WordPress site. No audio editing. No media server. One shortcode.
For radio stations and creators: Host your playlist, live stream link, or episode archive in a branded player that matches your site — because it’s embedded inside it.
Why iRadeo beats the built-in WordPress audio block:
The default WordPress audio block plays one local file. Your server hosts it, pays for every download, and shows nothing when the file is moved or deleted. iRadeo hosts the audio externally, serves the embeddable player, tracks play counts, and keeps your entire playlist organized — without touching your server. Upload once. Embed anywhere.
