Episode #32 of the WPCandy Podcast sees Brian Krogsgard and I (yeah, seriously!) running down the most important WordPress news of the week in just about 30 minutes. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it here again: if the other podcasts we produce here overwhelm you, the WPCandy Podcast proper is likely the show for you. Very little discussion, but quite a bit news and links.

If you only listen to one WordPress podcast this week, make it this one.

This episode is sponsored by the Typecase plugin by UpThemes and the upcoming WordPress service Raft.io.

What better way to round out a work week but with the WPCandy Podcast? Okay don’t answer that, because I’m sure there are much better ways. Let’s just forget I said anything. Brian, Daniel and myself are all present this time around, and quite a bit happened this week for us to talk about. WordPress […] You just finished reading WPCandy Podcast 28: 3.3 and then some edition on WPCandy. Please consider leaving a comment! The post WPCandy Podcast 28: 3.3 and then some edition appeared first on WPCandy.

I know what you’re thinking—it isn’t possible. Could this really be a new WPCandy Podcast? Indeed it is. After a shamefully long gap since the last podcast we’re back at it, this time joined by the newest contributor to WPCandy, Daniel Immke. In this episode we discuss the Quarterly a bit (by the way, pre-order yours), WordPress 3.3 RC1, WordAds, and a couple of fun stories that popped up in the last week or so.

Jump straight into the podcast audio here:

Link-wise, this week we discussed:

* WordPress 3.3 RC1

* The announcement of The WPCandy Quarterly publication

* WordPress.com’s announcement of WordAds

* Plugin duplicates may result in rejection from WordPress.org

* The PressTrends preview we published last week

* Seshn is ambitious, plans to be biggest by 2013

Then we have picks. This week Brian chose the Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus plugin, which is entirely a mouthful to say. Daniel’s pick was the Headway Themes redesign that went up recently, and my pick (though I’ve yet to play with it) is the Social plugin from Crowd Favorite and MailChimp.
