Seriously Simple Podcasting is for WordPress site owners who want to publish and manage a podcast directly from their site. It solves the problem of manually syncing podcast RSS feed updates and episode files between WordPress and a hosting provider by automating that process and offering built-in tools for feeds, players, and episode management.
