Listeners report significant issues with Windows-based podcast applications like Slapdash Pro and Bing Cast, which contain multiple incorrect or broken RSS feeds. Attempts to manually add functional feeds often fail due to poor application design or lack of developer support, with some feedback emails bouncing immediately.

Adam Curry proposes a "money-making" product idea: a Bluetooth-enabled vaporizer that syncs with a smartphone app and a Fitbit. The app would track nicotine levels, battery life, and heart rate, tweeting out "I just vaped" along with the user's location and dopamine release. They joke about the "quantified self" movement and the potential for developers to create social networks around vaping.
