Custom Blocks/Widgets

There are several " Blocks" you can add to your pages to display special types of content. (This can sometimes be referred to as "Widgets" or "Elements" on other platforms). The custom blocks are unique to Podcastpage, and will display dynamic data based on your website content. (like episodes, blog posts, etc.)

These are mainly supported within the Page Builder:

You can also find those blocks on other locations such as blog posts, episode pages, sidebar / footer etc -

Here's a breakdown of all available blocks and their use-cases:

Subscribe Icons

Display the subscribe/follow icons of your podcast on all platforms.

Episodes

The Episodes widget displays all of your podcast episodes in a list or grid layout. Your website already comes with a page that contains this widget. (the "Episodes" page)

Videos

Display videos from the "Videos" (YouTube channel/playlist) section of your website. 

Recent Episodes

On the footer and sidebar areas, you can add a compact list of recent episodes. This would display the 5 most recent episodes. If you have multiple podcasts it would list the latest episodes from all of the podcasts.

Episode Slider

Similar to the recent episodes widget, the Episode Slider widget shows some of the most recent episodes in a full-width slider mode. You can scroll right and left to view other episodes.

Audio Playlist

The Audio Playlist widget displays your latest episodes in a cool playlist mode!

Podcast Carousel

The podcast carousel widget is only available for websites that have multiple podcasts (if you're using the "Business" plan, your site supports multiple shows).

This widget displays a gallery-like carousel with all your different shows. 

Contact Form

Add a contact form to any page or section to let your visitors leave a message or contact you directly. You can't change or customize the form itself or the fields at the moment, but you can add text above or below the widget.

Voice Message

Similar to the contact form, the Voice Message widget can be added to all of the pages and sections (footer, sidebar). You can't change the text of the widget, but don't confuse this widget with the one you can add to the header. To change the text of the Voice Message widget and control how it looks, you need to go to the 'Customizer' -> 'General Settings'

Review Form

The Review Form widget lets you collect reviews for your podcast. The visitor can submit them to your Podcastpage account, or submit it on Apple Podcasts, Castbox or Podchaser.

Review Carousel

Similar to the Reviews widget, the Review Carousel will display your reviews in a carousel and you can scroll through dozens of reviews horizontally.
