The Static FrontPage option allows a user to set a specific Page to be the Home Page. So rather than visiting your site and seeing a list of latest episodes(posts), the visitor can be presented with for example a nice introductory main page as to what your site or podcast is all about.

Before proceeding, make sure you have already written a page to use as the Front Page.

1. From the menu, navigate to Settings-> Display
2. Under Front Page Display, check the static page option.
3. Select the page you would like to display from the Front page drop down.
4. Optional: Select the Posts page that will list your most recent posts. Normally set this to a blank page because the page content will be populated with latest posts.
