PodcasterPlus is a podcast operations platform built around a simple promise: give podcasters their time back so they can focus on making the show.
We call this category PodOps. It covers everything that surrounds the recording itself - booking, prep, publishing, promotion, follow-up, and team coordination. We automate the parts that should not need a human, and we put the parts that do need a human into one place that stays out of the way.
Everything that surrounds the recording. The work that quietly fills the hours between episodes.
One account for an independent host, a production team, or a small network. Hosting is the sticky core. But it is not the reason most podcasters choose us - the reason they choose us is everything we build on top of it.
From the booking page a guest fills in to the RSS feed a podcast client polls overnight - every layer runs on the same data, so the work moves forward instead of starting over.
Audio on a global content delivery network, fast standards-compliant RSS feeds, multiple shows under one account, artwork and metadata in one place. Publish episodes as drafts, scheduled releases, or live distributions.
A public booking page that handles time zones, calendar conflicts, intake forms, and confirmation emails - without the back-and-forth email thread that swallows a week. Every confirmed booking creates an episode automatically.
A workflow builder for the repeatable parts of running a show. Reminder sequences, social posts on publish, nudges on overdue tasks, co-host pings on review. Magic tags pull dynamic content into every template - one rule covers every episode.
Hosts, producers, co-hosts, and guests work on an episode together without anyone needing a paid seat or a forgotten password. Guests join through a magic link, see only what they need, and contribute show notes and prep responses directly.
Once an episode is recorded, the platform transcribes the audio, drafts show notes, generates platform-tailored social posts, and surfaces clip-worthy moments for highlights and audiograms.
The output is a starting point you can edit and publish, not a black box that hopes to replace your judgment.
A research document sourced from active podcasters in the r/podcasting community. These are the eight tasks podcasters consistently say take more time than they should. Every feature we build is measured against this list.
Rough cuts, polishing, and noise reduction that quietly consume hours per episode.
The second full-time job that lives behind every show. Marketing, social media, and the clips nobody has time to cut.
Gathering material, organising sources, drafting outlines and scripts before the mic ever turns on.
The back-and-forth, the time zones, the no-shows. The reason most weeks slip a day.
Planning topics, building outlines, writing questions. The thinking work that disappears under admin.
Publishing on schedule while a real life keeps happening around you. Consistency is the moat, and the cost.
Mastering, metadata, scheduling, show notes, quality checks. The last 20% that takes 80% of release day.
Convincing collaborators to actually promote the episode they joined. Distribution that depends on memory and goodwill.
We work from this list publicly. If a feature does not directly reduce the time a podcaster spends on one of these eight tasks, it does not ship.
A free, open-source plugin that uses native Gutenberg blocks - no shortcodes, no proprietary page builder lock-in, no player vendor watermark on your own site.
Plugin downloads and source links coming soon.
Our automation, booking, and collaboration tools work with your existing podcast host. Connect an external RSS feed, run the operations side on PodcasterPlus, and never move your audio. If you host with us, your data stays portable. This is not a feature footnote, it shapes how we design every part of the product.
PodcasterPlus is built by two people who have made enough podcasts and run enough events to know exactly where the time goes, and the product they wanted to exist.
Dan has been working in WordPress for 20 years and has organised the WPLDN community in London for 15 years, alongside WordFest Live, WordCamp London, and the Page Builder Summit. His background is in product, technical architecture, and software engineering.
Nathan has 18 years of WordPress experience and is the voice behind the long-running WP Builds podcast, as well as a regular host on WP Tavern. He has produced, edited, and published thousands of podcast episodes, which means the pain points we are solving are pain points he personally lives with every week.
Between us, we have hosted, edited, scheduled, promoted, lost guests, recovered guests, missed deadlines, hit deadlines, and built communities around independent publishing for the better part of two decades. PodcasterPlus is the product we wanted to exist.
Every feature should reduce the number of hours a podcaster spends on operations. If we cannot draw a line from a feature to one of the eight pain points, it does not earn a place on the roadmap.
PodcasterPlus Blocks is open source, and we plan to release additional components into the open as the platform matures. Open source is how the WordPress community has built durable software for two decades. Podcasting deserves the same foundation.
You can export it, you can move it, and you can take it to a competitor. Portability is a feature, not a concession.
Plenty of platforms will host your audio. Very few will help you run the operation around it. We do both, and we are honest about which one is the real differentiator.
We would rather ship a useful tool than a beautiful demo. We talk to podcasters, we test with podcasters, and we cut features that look great in screenshots but do not save time.
The foundations are built. The pipeline ahead is shaped by the conversations we have with people doing the work - podcasters, networks, hosts, and the wider community.
In testing with early users today.
Rolling out through the beta cohort.
We are actively exploring partnerships with podcast hosting platforms, networks, agencies, and the wider podcasting community. If you build tools for podcasters, run a host, or operate a network, we would like to talk.
The product we are building is shaped by the conversations we have with people doing the work. We are building PodcasterPlus for podcasters who would rather be making episodes than wrangling them.
