One suggestion :

Please provide a short description for every podcast episode. This helps immensely.

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for tuning in, we post the show notes on https://defn.audio 

I'm not sure where you want to see the description (SoundCloud?)

The notes has :
```

Credits:

Music: Thanks to the very talented ptzery for the permitting us to use his music on the opening and closing of the podcast. This track is Melon Hamburger. You can hear more on his SoundCloud.

Audio: Thanks to the audio wizard and general tech hero, Mr Wouter Dullaert for mixing the show and helping us to overcome some serious technical issues.

```

I also expect a little about what the podcast is about. What is the speaker discussing in this podcast ?

If you look at the pages for some podcasts on iTunes, such as the Wired UK podcast, there is a description for the podcast in general, and for each episode:

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/wired.co.uk-wired-uk-podcast/id404893471?mt=2

For your podcast, there is not much description of the content of the episode:

https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/defn/id1114899563

There is also no description of the individual episode when you have downloaded it, just a title #01.

I haven’t podcasted but my understanding is that Apple gets the information for the description of individual episodes from an RSS feed. The structure of that feed is explained here

That's great feedback.

We can (and will) definitely improve the notes along the lines you suggest.

[Mond Ray]

Thanks Ashish - that's really good feedback. We will improve the notes along the lines that you request.

Looking forwards to your discussion on Reader.
