## Host a podcast on your Ghost site

Using an integration with Captivate, you can run a member-only podcast. This integration allows publishers to grow their audience and offer unique content via podcasts.

## Embed a podcast episode into any post

Go to the episode you’d like to embed from your Captivate dashboard and click the **Share** icon, then copy the **Embed** code.

It’s also possible to use other types of embeds offered by Captivate, such as embedding the latest episode, a playlist or a collection — [read more](https://help.captivate.fm/en/articles/3731203-the-basics-of-working-with-the-captivate-embeddable-podcast-players).

## Paste it into an HTML card

Once you have the embed code, go to your post in Ghost Admin, insert an HTML card, and paste your code.

The embedded podcast player will now appear within your post.

### Running a private podcast with Ghost + Captivate

If you’re using Captivate to run a private podcast that you’d like to share with members of your Ghost site, you can use the Captivate private podcast feature in conjunction with the membership features in Ghost.

**Create a private podcast**

Follow the [Captivate guide](https://help.captivate.fm/en/articles/4666316-how-to-create-a-private-podcast) to create a new private podcast. Private podcasts aren’t searchable on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Google Podcast — read more about [how private podcasts work](https://help.captivate.fm/en/articles/4665849-private-podcasts-faqs).

**Give members in Ghost access to your podcast via Zapier**

[Zapier](https://zapier.com/) can automate actions and keep your members in Ghost in sync with external services like Captivate. With our Zapier integration, you can:

- Give new members in Ghost access to a private podcast in Captivate
- Send new podcast listeners in Captivate into Ghost as new members
- Remove access to your private podcast when a member is deleted in Ghost

With these automations in place, new members in Ghost can be automatically added to your podcast list in Captivate, along with a unique RSS feed URL to subscribe to your podcast content.
