The problem solved itself on its own. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Perfect, thank you Jonathan! If anybody else is looking for this to work, here is the amended code to show the description:
$episodes = ssp_episodes();
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($episodes as $episode){
echo '<li>' . $episode->post_title . ': ' . $episode->post_content . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
Okay, thank you. I’m barking up the wrong tree : )
