About
We’re podcasters at heart who dare to build our own tools.
Back in 2015, our co-founder Pat Flynn had a problem. He wanted to delight visitors to his website with the ability to listen to any episode from his podcast. Right there, on the site. Options were sparse, ugly, and just not quite right back then. So we built one. That tool became Smart Podcast Player (SPP), and the podcasting world rejoiced.
We enhanced SPP in the years that followed. All the while, new pain points and innovative ideas emerged as the podcasting industry boomed. We sat on those pain points and innovative ideas for a while. But no more.
Today, we’re Fusebox—the same core team with a new name that embodies our expanded mission to build a toolbox of powerful software to empower podcasters with dynamic ways of energizing their audiences to drive engagement and results.
Our players will always be at our core. But there’s a lot more we can—and will—build to help all of us podcasters take control of our future.
Our Podcast Player is actually three players in one.
It’s true. If you’re a Fusebox Pro user, you get access to the full player (seen in all its glory below), the single track player (perfect for show notes posts), and the site-wide sticky player.
Benefit from our player in big and little ways.
- Stimulate more episode listens and downloads.
- Invite your listeners into your other brand channels.
- Promote better discovery of your past episodes.
- Empower your fans to listen while they surf your site.
- Boost the engagement potential of your show notes.
- Feature your podcast as a focal point of your brand.
Behold, the full Podcast Player in all its glory.
Give our full player a test drive here. We’re currently featuring our co-founder’s show, Smart Passive Income. Just imagine your show in place of Pat’s. Ah, the exciting possibilities.
Features that aren’t just features—they’re power-ups.
- Email Capture
Entice listeners to sign-up for your email newsletter.
- Custom Colors

Visitors can share your podcast straight to social.

Podcast transcripts have never been so powerful.
Podcast transcripts rarely generate meaningful results. Not anymore. With our Transcript plugin, you can seriously boost the engagement and SEO potential of your shownotes like never before.
Why use our transcript plugin? To enjoy these benefits.
- Enable your show notes for a potential SEO boost.
- Empower your fans to quickly scan your episode.
- Receive the love of those with accessibility needs.

How does the Transcript plugin work? See for yourself. The demo currently uses a transcript snippet of an episode from SPI. Best of all, it’s free! (Pro features are coming soon.)
Pat Flynn: Hey, at the time this episode comes out, it'll be just a couple of weeks before the year 2020 and whether you're listening to this at the moment it comes out or perhaps months later, if you don't yet have a podcast, what are you doing? Stick around because I'm going to tell you why you need a podcast.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Smart Passive Income podcast, where it's all about working hard now, so you can sit back and reap the benefits later. And now your host, if he could interview anyone who's no longer with us, it would be Benjamin Franklin, Pat Flynn.
Pat Flynn: What's up everybody? Welcome to the Smart Passive Income podcast.

What’s next for our Podcast Player? What other nifty podcasting tools are we building?
Which shows are we listening to? Where is the podcast industry headed?
Great questions. Being in the industry, we know how crazy it is right now to be a podcaster trying to make sense of it all. If you’re dazed at times by all the news, so are we. To make sense of it all—first for ourselves, then, hopefully, others—we decided to produce our own email publication.
In it, we share what we’re listening to, give our take on current events, reveal secrets of what features and products we’re building, provide thoughts on the direction of the industry, and generally try to have some fun, together, as podcasters hungry to learn and grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Fusebox Players and Transcript are plugins uniquely designed for WordPress websites only, which means it won’t work on Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, or any other non-WordPress site.
Yes! As long as it’s on the same WordPress installation, you can use the same Fusebox license for as many podcasts. If you have multiple websites, however, you would be required to purchase a different license for each website.
No, Fusebox creates podcast tools, such as our Fusebox Podcast Players (full player, track player, and sticky player) and Fusebox Transcript. You’ll still need a podcast host, such as Buzzsprout or Libsyn.
We’d love to hear from you! Shoot us an email at help@fusebox.fm and we’d be happy to share.
