 * Hello, I am getting a fatal error when I try activating the plugin:
 * Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in …/wp-content/plugins/
   buzzsprout-podcasting/buzzsprout-podcasting.php on line 243
 * I’m guessing that the plugin just needs to be updated for the latest version 
   of WP. Is there any plans to update the plugin? Thanks!

 * This was actually related to specific versions of PHP. The plugin has now been
   updated and all is well again. Sorry for the delayed response!
