I think I can speak for everyone involved in the Lutheran Difference Project when I say we're please and flattered with the response we've been getting. I personally am very happy and flattered that everyone likes it so much. :)

The podcast pickle player widget is available to everyone and free. Go to this link...

http://www.podcastpickle.com/app/player/getFlex.php?type=sidebar

Choose the colors you like, then enter our feed where it says "Enter the url to your feed"

http://www.switchpod.com/users/lutherandifference/feed.xml

When you hit "get your player code" it generates the code you can add to your blog or website. The reason I point people to this page is because of the ability to choose colors that match your site.

Again, thanks to everyone for the support. :)
