BMS Podcast Player

Background

I wanted to set up a way to automatically ingest the Billy Madison Show podcast RSS Feed into a responsive, non-Flash-based audio player.

After doing some research, I was disappointed with the lack of available options, so I decided to build one myself.

How It Works

The plugin reads the XML from the Billy Madison Show Podcast RSS Feed to create a JSON object.

The jPlayer reads the data from the JSON object to dynamically populate items in the player.

We now have a mobile-friendly player that requires zero additional effort for myself or the on-air talent to maintain.
