Description
UpCast allows you to customise and filter the display of podcast lists in posts,
pages, and a sidebar widget. It handles images and thumbnails and other standard
podcast fields. It also allows custom templates using shortcodes and HTML. For
podcasts hosted on upcast.me it can filter by file attachments, show future items
instead of past items, and identify the source of clicks for analytics.
The UpCast website is https://upcast.me

Use WordPress administration to set UpCast defaults, or just add the UpCast widget to a sidebar.

Shortcode defaults allow you to configure everything from podcast column headings to styled HTML templates.

Widgets allow all the same customisations as shortcodes but with floating layouts for elegant resizing.

The plugin lets you specify equivalent settings to those on the UpCast pdocasting platform at upcast.me.

You can even customise how clicks on your podcast episodes from wordpress will appear in upcast.me analytics.
