Cannot find how to update podcast in Spearhead theme

    I started using the Spearhead theme to include my podcast a while ago but got frustrated. I came back to it to start over again but my newer podcasts have not uploaded. I can’t tell you how they were uploaded before, but they have an image, they have the description of the podcast, and the podcast audio all included. I’d like it to update with my newest podcast episodes but I don’t even know how the block got the information to see where the problem is. WordPress has seemed incredibly difficult to use for me so far!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    I’m sorry to hear about your frustrations with WordPress.com. Let’s try and address these issues together so we can get your podcast up and running smoothly.

    To add new episodes to your site, you can use the Podcast Player block. This handy block allows you to easily embed your podcast episodes right into your posts or pages. You can find detailed instructions on how to do that by checking out this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/podcast-player-block/

    The Podcast Player block also gives you the option to display the artwork and description of your podcasts. Once you’ve added your podcast’s URL to the block, you’ll see an option to display the cover art and description. Make sure these options are selected to get your desired look.

    Also, I noticed that your site is not publicly visible yet because it hasn’t been launched. You can launch your site by going to Settings > General > Launch site. This makes your site accessible to everyone. You can learn more about this process here: https://wordpress.com/support/settings/privacy-settings/#launch-your-site

    Lastly, if you’re interested in hosting your podcast directly on WordPress.com instead of embedding your episodes, we have a Podcasting guide that you can follow: https://wordpress.com/support/audio/podcasting/. This feature is available on all of our paid plans. If you’re interested, consider upgrading to our Personal plan, which is the most affordable.

    If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
