šļø Overview
Wave is a podcast-centric theme developed by the Ghost Foundation. It's designed to help you share your voice and words with your audience.
āØ Features
- Responsive Design: Wave is fully responsive and styled, ensuring your content looks great on any device.
- Podcast Integration: Easily add episodes by specifying the podcast MP3/audio file URL for each post. Since Ghost doesn't have custom fields, the 'Facebook description' field is repurposed to store the link to the audio file.

- Separate Blog Page: Create a separate blog feed by uploading a custom
routes.yamlfile in your settings at 'Settings > Labs > Routes'. Posts with the tag 'Blog' will be displayed under 'yoursite.com/blog'.
