Interesting - is Podcasting still something that people record / listen to? I'm uneducated in that area and am wondering (I feel like with all the social media, video etc podcasting has taken a backseat - am I wrong?)

  The podcasting world is huge and very, very active. I love podcasts because I'm a big multitasker and they are a great way to learn new things while doing something else. They're awesome for catching up on tech news (e.g. the 'This week in' podcasts; Buzz out loud; there's even a Hacker News podcast), or learn new things (NPR's Fresh Air and KERA's Think Podcast are some of my favorites for great discussions on random topics), or just for fun (there are lots of great comedians that have podcasts such as Joe Rogan or Marc Maron). In fact, the podcast-o-sphere is so large that it can be hard to decide what to listen to, which is why I'd like to build out Flapcast.com as a sort of social network for sharing your favorite podcasts (I've already implemented the basics of this but there's lots of work to be done).

    Got it. If it is as big as you mention with no aggregation source for podcasts then kill it!

Reminds me of the days of frame navigations! The podcasts listed on the landing page are scrunched together so that the tops of each are being cut off, rendering them illegible. (Ubuntu and Chromium)

  Thanks, I'll check it out.

  I've fixed the display issue, but I remember now talking with a user who couldn't get podcasts to play in Ubuntu/Chromum -- Unfortunately, its a licensing issue and my hands are tied :( Chromium users will have to use Firefox or another browser to actually play content.
