 * Hi,

   but the [powerpress] -shortcode does nothing on the front page. What should it
   do? I would like for it to show the latest episode/podcast…

 * If you want a media player to appear on the front page that only shows the latest
   episode and updates itself automatically, you’ll want to use the PowerPress Playlist
   shortcode:

 * Enable the Playlist Player per the instructions on the above linked page. Then,
   try this shortcode:
    `[powerpress_playlist limit=1]`
