Buzzsprout player in hero element

Hi, I'm trying to add the buzzsprout player to my hero, in a generate_after_header hook. I used to do this with blurry powerpress and simple podcast player, where I could add a [spp-player] shortcode, and then configure the podcast through the powerpress plugin.

But for buzzsprout, I need to enter the episode number (it's a shortcode like [buzzsprout episode='8926847' player='true']) - and I'm wondering if there is a way to create a variable in a post and save the number '8926847', such that I could reference it in the element? Does that make sense?

My element hook -

<?php 

<div class="adam-podcast-hero">
  <div class="adam-podcast-hero-meta">
    <h1 class="blog-page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    <span class="blog-meta-date-display"><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></span> |
    <span class="blog-meta-author"><a href="/about"><?php the_author(); ?></a></span> |
    <!--span><--?php $EpisodeData = powerpress_get_enclosure_data(get_the_ID(), 'podcast'); echo $EpisodeData['duration'];?></span> | -->
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>/#comments"><?php
      $c_num = get_comments_number();
      if ($c_num != 1){
        echo "{$c_num} Comments";
      } else {
        echo "{$c_num} Comment";
      }?></a>
    <br/><br/><br/><br/>
    [spp-player]
