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.
Plans start at $10/month. <a href="https://www.iradeo.com/pricing?utm_source=wordpress_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=wp_install_setup" rel="nofollow ugc">Free trial — no credit card required.</a>
Works with: Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Kadence, and any page builder that supports shortcodes.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to iRadeo (https://www.iradeo.com), a third-party audio hosting and streaming service operated by iRadeo.
What it does: When a page containing the iRadeo shortcode or block is loaded, the plugin embeds an iframe that loads the iRadeo audio player from <code>https://www.iradeo.com/station/player/</code>.
What data is sent: The station ID you provide in the shortcode or block is included in the iframe URL. No visitor personal data (IP address, cookies, user account data) is sent by this plugin — any such data handling is governed by iRadeo’s own privacy policy.
