  Hello,

  My WordPress site is:

  bilingualdecisionmaking.wordpress.com

  I’d like to connect a podcast to my wordpress site. From what I can gather, though I couldn’t find it explicitly stated, in order to get a podcast plug-in I need to have paid subscription. Is this correct?

  If so, can you tell which subscription level I need in order to have a podcast?

  Best,

  Zachary Brooks

  No plugin or upgrade needed. Have a look here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/

  The best place to start looking for information about working with a WordPressdotcom site is in our Support site. The link is at the top of the page.

  Just checking… the link the moderator just posted about podcasting seems to explicitly state that you have to upgrade to a premium plan in order to host a podcast on WordPress. Isn’t that so?

  I’ve followed up with Staff on this issue and indeed you do need a paid Plan in order to upload audio to your WordPressdotcom site. The good news is they have advised that the Personal Plan now includes audio uploads due to the increase in storage space in the Personal Plan from 3GB to 6GB.

  If you purchase the Personal Plan and run into any issue with audio uploads, please open a new thread so we can troubleshoot that issue.
