@oliwesbiz Great podcast! Maybe tie in an RSS driven newsletter and an email opt-in. I'm not a fan of using iTunes for podcasts, but getting something in my inbox when you publish a new episode would be very welcome.

@dan_e_gray @oliwesbiz No problem. FeedSites is very new (just launched yesterday), and still very much in development. Great to see how people want to use it and iterate!
