LV Community Podcast Widget for Mac OS X
Anyone interested in experimenting, can download this new Mac OS X widget
for obtaining LibriVox Community Podcasts. If enough people report that
this one works fine, I can also create same for LibriVox Books Podcast
and the LibriVox New Releases Podcast (and several of our other feeds.)
Download it here and do the usual to unzip the file and install the widget.
Comments on this would be much appreciate, particularly if it doesn't work.
Below are images showing what the un-zipped widget looks like on a
desktop before install —as well as what it looks like when it's operating.
Have fun. —Alan

Works like a dream! And soooo cool.... There must be places to promote this, say on the Apple website?
A couple of small comments on the visuals of it:-
-- The window is a little too narrow to see the date of each podcast. Could it be widened by a few characters?
-- The oldest podcasts are at the top of the window, so you'd need to keep scrolling down to the bottom of the (ever-growing) list to see the latest release. Any way of reversing the order? (EDIT - Once you've scrolled down, it seems to remember and opens next time at the bottom of the list. Haven't tried that through sleeping the machine yet, or seen what happens when the next release comes out).
That's nit-picking, though. It's brilliant, and may spark other ideas.... New releases widget?
Top marks, Alan!
