Podcasting Myth on Podcast Launch Busted

iTunes Ranking Discussion - How Do You Know How Many Subscribers You Have
5:30 We talk about the recent podcaster's roundtable that discussed iTunes Stats.
8:20 Overcast is a great app for managing podcasts. Dave made a free tutorial. The app syncs all your devices with their website. The website does not allow you to create or manage your playlists.
10:50 New Podcasts launched including Alanis Morrisette.
Feedburner Should Be Dead and How Do I leave Feedburner
11:40 Feedburner had it purpose, but there are better tools .Think of it like an 8-track tape. It was fine until something better came along. See a post Dave has on his blog.

29:40 Can you filter out the comments when the blab is posted on your site?
Podcast Proposals
42:50 Dr Vibe wants to know what to include. I recommend outlining what the project is, what the expectations are in terms of payment, delivery, etc.
What Is the Next Step with Blab?
46:25 have something to say, and jump in. Don't be afraid to look silly.
PowerPress or Libsyn Feed?
48:50 Both can be broken. Right now, I'm running into more people having problems with Wordpress (it's not a PowerPress issue). The plugins can conflict. You can break a Libsyn feed as well (but I've seen that much, much less). Check out validatemyfeed.com to make sure your feed is OK
