Overview

This plugin is an add-on for Seriously Simple Podcasting and requires at least v1.14 of Seriously Simple Podcasting in order to work.

Excellent speaker extension for SSP
by jdisenso·9 years ago

This plugin does a great job extending Seriously Simple Podcasting. It’s light, extendable and easy to use. It adds a taxonomy to the main SSP plugin so that Speakers can be added. The readme.txt file (and under the FAQ tab on the WordPress Plugin repository) lays out how to make simple changes to the layout.
