Just booked my ticket today for the left coast so I can attend the Portable Media and Podcast Expo. If you’re thinking about it I’d recommend taking action soon.

A couple of weeks back I lamented the fact that Juice Receiver seems to have become one of the last choices for new podcast listeners to subscribe. I decided to practice what I’ve preached and since then I’ve been utilizing Juice Receiver to subscribe to podcasts.
