How Do I Display Castbox Reviews on My WordPress Site with Feedspace?

If you host or produce a podcast listed on Castbox, listener reviews are among the most persuasive signals you can show to potential new subscribers. A visitor landing on your WordPress site who sees real feedback from engaged listeners, praising your episodes, your guests, or your production quality, is far more likely to hit subscribe than one who sees nothing at all. Feedspace lets you pull those Castbox reviews into a polished widget and embed it anywhere on your WordPress site, turning listener praise into a visible growth tool.

Step 1: Import Your Castbox Reviews into Feedspace

Before you can display your Castbox listener reviews on WordPress, you need to bring them into your Feedspace account.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Navigate to Import Reviews from the sidebar.
3. Select Castbox as your review source.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your Castbox podcast and import your listener reviews.
5. Once the import completes, your Castbox reviews will appear in your Feedspace review library, ready to use.

Step 2: Create a Widget with Your Castbox Reviews

With your listener reviews imported, the next step is to build a display widget inside Feedspace.

1. In your Feedspace dashboard, go to Widgets and click Create Widget.
2. Choose a widget layout that suits your podcast page, such as a wall of reviews, a slider, or a single featured review.
3. Filter the widget to include your imported Castbox listener reviews.
4. Customise the widget appearance: adjust colors, fonts, and card styles to match your podcast brand.
5. Save your widget. Feedspace will generate an embed code for use in the next step.

Tip: Castbox listener reviews often highlight specific episodes or themes. Consider curating your widget to feature reviews that mention your most popular episodes, which helps new visitors discover your best content right away.

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress Plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin is the easiest way to embed your widget without touching any code.

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins and click Add New.
3. Search for Feedspace in the plugin directory.
4. Click Install Now next to the Feedspace plugin, then click Activate.
5. Once activated, go to the Feedspace plugin settings and connect it to your Feedspace account using your API key or by logging in.

Step 4: Add the Widget to Your WordPress Page

With the plugin installed, you can now place your Castbox listener reviews widget on any page or post.

1. Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display the reviews, such as your podcast homepage, an about page, or a dedicated listener praise page.
2. In the Gutenberg block editor, click the + button to add a new block.
3. Search for the Feedspace block and select it.
4. From the block settings, choose the Castbox reviews widget you created in Step 2.
5. Click Update or Publish to save the page. Your Castbox listener reviews will now appear live on your WordPress site.

Other Ways to Embed Your Widget

If you prefer not to use the plugin, Feedspace also provides alternative embedding options:

• Shortcode: Copy the Feedspace shortcode from your widget settings and paste it into any page, post, or text widget in WordPress.
• HTML embed code: Copy the JavaScript embed snippet from Feedspace and paste it into a Custom HTML block in the Gutenberg editor.

Why Display Castbox Reviews on Your Site?

Listener reviews on Castbox represent genuine audience engagement. When podcast creators surface these reviews on their own WordPress site, they give prospective listeners an immediate sense of the show’s community, tone, and value. Rather than asking visitors to visit Castbox to read feedback, you bring the social proof directly into your own space, where you control the presentation and context. This is particularly effective on episode landing pages, Patreon sign-up pages, or any page where you are asking listeners to take the next step.
