Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Brainstorm Cafe Podcast Player

Yes. Brainstorm Cafe Podcast Player is and will remain free, without a premium edition, feature paywall, subscription, license key, or required account. Updates and new features are available to everyone.

Feeds are cached for performance. Choose Refresh feed now under Podcast Player in the dashboard.

The settings screen stores one site-wide feed. A block or shortcode can override the feed URL for an individual embed.

No. Playback only starts after a visitor selects an episode.

No. Search and season filtering happen locally in the visitor's browser against the episodes already on the page.

The episode remains visible, but its action is labeled "Audio unavailable."

Podcasting 2.0 chapter files are hosted separately from the RSS feed. Loading them only after a listener chooses avoids hidden third-party requests and keeps the initial episode list fast. If browser access is unavailable, the original chapter file can still be opened directly.
