Could we get the “Podcast” tag on the home screen for “Field of Streams”?

This was a site/organization decision made early last year, but I can ask about it and see where we’re at.

Ahhh alrighty, not a biggy was more just curious as to why it did not have the tag. Keep up the good work!

I believe (and may be wrong) that back when there was only one podcast, it had the “Podcast” tag. Then when we got on board, there was no tag to differentiate ours, so we got our own tag (“Field of Streams”).

Thank you! You keep listening, we’ll keep doing them.
