I love it when people correct me! Andy Lehman tells me all about what I didn’t get quite right about the Podcast Namespace.

Andy is the guy that does the Podcast Namespace WordPress Plugin, an Add-on to PowerPress to add more namespace tags to your RSS feed. – https://github.com/Lehmancreations/Podcast-Namespace-Wordpress-Plugin

Andy also does a podcast called Dudes and Dads Podcast – https://dudesanddadspodcast.com/

We had a great chat.
