Very easy to publish your podcast's episodes!
Once you enter all the settings, it's very easy to publish episodes for your podcast. iTunes picks it up without any difficulties. I am very grateful to Hush for creating such a powerful podcast tools. If you want to see it in action, take a look here: http://nptechprojects.org/podcast Celebrating Internation #podcastday on September 30th, 2016! Oh man, this should have been at the main plugin.

Excellent speaker extension for SSP
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.
