I had seen that a while ago, but was unaware they had an option to allow visitors to "grab this code" and put the widget on their site.

When is it Time to Podfade?
Edgy Podcast Reviews (a show that reviewed other podcasts) has (more than likely) "Podfaded" (gone of the air). The reason? According to one of the hosts, "It's just not fun anymore." The great thing about podcasting is: 1. You choose to start a podcast. 2. You choose how long the podcast is, how often you [...]Mentioned in this episode:Can You Do Me a Favor?
