Does your podcast have a number of different speakers? Or maybe a different guest each week? Perhaps you have unique hosts for each episode? If any of those options describe your podcast then this is the add-on for you!
Seriously Simple Speakers allows you to add one or more speakers to each of your episodes – the speakers are setup as a new taxonomy (not users), making them easily searchable as well as giving them their own archive pages out of the box.

Oh man, this should have been at the main plugin. Sorry..
It does what it says. It’s lightweight and easy to use. It’s really very awesome.
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.
