Audio podcast component

[Mahesh_Gunaje]

Hello All,

In AEM core components section, do we have Audio podcast component? If yes, please guide me. Or else, how can I create custom component from scratch.

Thanks in advance.

We used acast.com for hosting podcasts and broadcasting them to platforms like Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify. Acast provides an embedding feature that allows us to seamlessly integrate podcasts into an AEM component using an iframe.

Hi @Mahesh_Gunaje!

The Core Components do not include a specific podcast component. Depending on your requirements, there are a couple of approaches that could be leveraged by extending existing Core Components, such as:

• Embed Component
  You could check if the supported URLs do cover what you need or extend the component to support the required format/platform/behavior.
• Download Component
  If all you want to do is provide podcast files to your website visitors for download, you might evaluate the Download Component.

There are other questions to consider:

• What exact requirements do you have for a podcast component? What behavior should it have? Do you need a player that runs as part of your website? Do you want to provide a download? Is the requirement about providing podcasts to common clients/players?
• Where are you hosting your podcasts? Do you deliver them from AEM or are you using a 3rd party provider?
  As mentioned by @Mahedi_Sabuj, 3rd party providers might have existing integrations or players that you could leverage.

Based on these questions you can start the evaluation of existing approaches and your solution design.

Hope this helps!
