Sat, 21 June 2008 I've decided to keep this Libsyn account for podcasts because, frankly, moving the feeds was more hassle than it was worth. Libsyn is only $5 per month, and even if I only post a few podcasts per year, that is a small price for the ease of use. I was going to use PodPress on my WordPress site to consolidate podcasts and blogs onto one site, but after some real frustrations with trying to find the .xml file to edit for my iTunes subscribers, I gave up. (Even my wife, who does not understand why I'm spending time blogging and podcasting, agreed that the $5 per month is not a big deal.) I may still experiment with cross-posting a podcast on this site and my blog site. I need to get comfortable with PodPress. Anyway, I'll soon be posting an interview that I conducted with a licensed counselor and school psychologist on the topic, "How parents' expectations impact their children."
