 * I just installed Seriously Simple Podcasting and put the shortcode in a page 
   and a text widget. All is see is [ss_podcast] in the text widget, nothing on 
   the page. Your Plug-in is fantastic and I use it on other sites.[http://www.breslovtorah.com/](http://www.breslovtorah.com/)

 * That means that your theme does not support shortcodes inside widgets. You can
   fix this by adding the following line to your theme’s functions.php file:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );
       ```
   
 * Cheers,
    Hugh
