How it works

The Podcast component is a component which renders multiple audio files hosted in the AEM DAM grouped by categories. The component allows direct playback of the files as part of the embedded player.

The display date can be defined.

In addition to the audio playback interface with or without additional categories, the components contain options to subscribe to the podcast via:

  • Standard RSS feed
  • iTunes RSS Feed
  • Podcast players links that are not iTunes or regular RSS feed are available (with icons)

How to use it
