Not Orig Developer, Website Goes to Install Malware or Something

I know that the original developer of this app is great, I have some other apps built by him, but whoever is operating as PoeticBytes has a non-functional website. I mean that in the sense that clicking on the link to PoeticBytes' website opened a URL that redirected me a few times and landed on some spyware/malware type of site that was trying to install a browser extension, or so it claimed. I obviously didn't go through with that and closed the browser window, etc, but just a heads up for anyone else trying to contact PoeticBytes. Or anyone remotely interested in finding out who PoeticBytes is.

Almost perfect

There are a few bugs, such as freezing the the graphics of the wheel altering. Podcasts, even in progress, will reset if I change to a different podcast.

Also, the ability to save specific podcasts would be nice.
