Podcast Web Radio

A web player for any podcast that has an RSS feed.

Podcast player

Podcast Web Radio turns a podcast feed into a radio station. It plays every episode in endless rotation, reshuffles the lineup after each full pass and adds new episodes as they are published, so it can run unattended for days.

The on-screen radio has a tuning-dial seek bar, a neon station sign and an on-air lamp. The lamp follows the actual audio, so a dropped connection shows as reconnecting rather than looking live.

KPRT Streaming Internet Radio is one station built on Podcast Web Radio. It is the only living example so far, and the app could be customized for other podcasts.

Highlights

  • Endless rotation, with a fresh shuffle after each full pass
  • New episodes join the rotation automatically; the feed is checked every hour
  • Retries dropped connections, skips episodes that keep failing and restarts stalled playback
  • Starts playing where the browser allows it, with volume, mute and previous and next controls
  • No accounts, no database and no API keys
