The record

Purpose: Podlove Podcast Publisher is a WordPress-based tool for publishing podcasts and managing podcast feeds.
Open source: The project says its code is shared on GitHub under the MIT license and that it is committed to keeping Podlove free for all users.
Self-hosted control: The maker says users can use the plugin with their WordPress host and control their audio files, metadata, settings, and statistics.
Publishing checks: After setup, the Publisher checks that files are present and that the publishing workflow runs smoothly.
Analytics: Its analytics can compare time periods, episodes, listening clients, and audio formats; the maker says analytics do not track listeners or store personal information.
Player and transcripts: The bundled customizable web player supports transcripts, chapter marks, and download options, and transcript text can link playback to the matching audio segment.
Shownotes: The Publisher can import shownotes from HTML or Slack and display them in a clean format.
Requirements and file setup: The Publisher requires WordPress running on a web server; episode assets are expected to share a filename slug and directory, and the user remains responsible for uploading media files.
API security: The documentation says API data changes require authentication and recommends WordPress application passwords, which can be revoked individually.
Support: The maker directs users with installation, configuration, or usage problems to its community forum for help.
Intended users: The documentation describes it as a workflow-oriented solution for serious podcasters who want control over their publishing process, feeds, and publication integrity.
Maker: Podlove describes itself as an open-source initiative born in Germany to improve podcasting infrastructure; its legal page lists a responsible contact in Leipzig.
