A WordPress plugin for managing podcast episodes with a full admin interface and WPGraphQL support. Built for headless and decoupled WordPress sites.

By Jeffrey Haug

What It Does

Podcasting Manager adds a podcast custom post type to WordPress and provides everything needed to manage a podcast from the admin — episode metadata, global podcast settings, and a GraphQL API for frontend consumption.

Features

  • Custom post type — A dedicated podcast post type with title, content, featured image, excerpt, and custom episode fields.
  • Episode metadata — Per-episode fields managed via a meta box on the edit screen: episode number, MP3 URL, episode date (with datepicker), duration (seconds), file size (bytes), and transcript.
  • Global podcast settings — A settings page under Settings > Podcast Settings for podcast-level metadata: name, description, image, hosts, owner, license, explicit rating, series, categories, keywords, donation link, trailer URL, and update frequency.
  • Platform directory links — Store and expose links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart, and Podcasting Index.
  • WPGraphQL integration — Exposes all podcast data through the WPGraphQL schema. Query global settings via podcastSettings and per-episode fields (episodeNumber, mp3File, episodeDate, episodeLength, fileSize, transcript) on any podcast node.

Requirements

  • WordPress
  • WPGraphQL (required for GraphQL support)

GraphQL Usage

{
  podcastSettings {
    name
    description
    image
    hosts
    podcastSpotifyLink
    podcastAppleLink
  }
  podcasts {
    nodes {
      title
      episodeNumber
      mp3File
      episodeDate
      episodeLength
      fileSize
      transcript
    }
  }
}
