Podcast Website With Episode Player

I have a basic deployment live at https://voice-tunes-podcast.vercel.app/, but it is little more than a placeholder. I need it turned into a clean, responsive site whose sole purpose is to let listeners discover and play every episode of my show.

The must-haves are straightforward:
• An embedded audio player visible on each episode page so visitors can press play immediately without leaving the site.
• A simple playlist or index where all episodes appear in order and can be queued or skipped within the same player.

I’m hosting on Vercel, so a lightweight React / Next.js build (or another framework that deploys easily there) will fit best, but I’m open to suggestions if you can keep performance sharp and code maintainable.

Design wise I’m after an uncluttered, mobile-first layout: show artwork, episode title, date, short description, and the player. I’d like you to wire in a markdown or CMS-friendly workflow so I can add new episodes myself without touching code.

Deliverables
1. Source code pushed to a Git repo.
2. Deployed update at the same Vercel URL.
3. Read-me with steps for adding future episodes.

If you’ve built podcast or audio-centric sites before, I’d love to see them.
