Learn how to embed a podcast on your website and how to use media.csuchico.edu to quickly generate a written transcript from your audio or video.
Embed a Podcast on Your Website
Outline of Steps
- Create a podcast with anchor.fm.
- Create a page on your website with a matching title.
- Copy the embed code from Anchor.
- Paste into the"Source Code" of your Cascade page.
- Add title="podcast audio - podcast title" into your embed code. Cascade will hide your audio or video if you don’t add the title into your <iframe>.
Full code example:
<iframe width="400px" height="102px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/casey-darr/embed/episodes/What-makes-a-good-podcast-ep6u8t" title="Podcast audio - What makes a good podcast?"></iframe>
Use media.csuchico.edu to Create Transcripts
Audio files existing on the university website must be accompanied by written transcripts to ensure the university meets accessibility standards and laws.
Outline of Steps
- Log into media.csuchico.edu.
- Top right: + Add New > Media Upload.
- Choose Unlisted under Publishing Status.
- Wait 5-10 minutes. Click your name in the top right, select My Media.
- Click on the file you just uploaded. If you allowed enough time and chose Unlisted, there should now be a written transcript available under the video box.
- Copy and paste the written transcript onto your page.
- Listen to audio while reading the transcript to easily fix errors.
- Format the transcript text to make it easier to scan and read.
Use Cascade “Stories” for Your Episode List
“Stories” is a blog-like feature in Cascade that works well for recent updates from your department or for listing content chronologically.
Examples of Cascade Stories
Outline of Steps
- Check to see if your site is using “stories”. Sometimes these folders will be renamed. See Examples of Cascade Stories above to help determine if your site already has a folder.
- You can copy the “stories” folder from the 3.0 Template Site in Cascade.
- Add Content > Pages > Story Page
- The index within the stories folder will automatically list pages chronologically based on when they were created.
