More Than Words Podcast

// solution

A WordPress site for a podcast that also sells coaching and speaking, so it had to work as an episode archive and a services page without either burying the other. Episodes embed and play on the site with the full archive browsable, and directory links push listeners out to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and the rest rather than trying to trap them. Coaching, consulting, speaking, and sponsorship each get their own route in, with newsletter capture for the listeners who are not ready to enquire yet.
