  Hello @simonemobrien,

  I’ve tried embedding your podcast code on a test blog of mine and I’m running into the same issue – where the code is being stripped for some reason. It’s possible the embed code you’re being provided with doesn’t work with WordPress.com (possibly for security or reliability reasons).

  What did work for me, was taking the exact URL of the podcast and putting it into an audio shortcode instead. Try adding this to your post:

  [audio https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/forcedn/talkwithtrace/Simone_obrien_.mp3 ]
  

  The player looks more simple than the one your embed produces, but at least the audio works as intended and doesn’t create an extra step for your viewers/listeners. I hope this helps!
