Sorry, Mike, I hadn't read what you'd written - just Steve's reply.   
I should have been clearer.  There *are* links back to your website  
in the fucking interface :-), to allow you to read and comment.

If you click on the top line of each subscribed podcast in the  
podcast section, a little arrow appears to the right of the name.   
That links back to the site.

You can click the "i" at the very right of each podcast episode to  
preview the post's accompanying text.  Then, if you want to read more  
and comment, click the arrow to go to the site.  It's not quite as  
good as a permalink or watching it on the site, but it's not as bad  
as you made out.

If you've got it open anyway for music, like I always do, it's an  
easy way to get distracted and procrastinate, which is great.

I'm talking about the goddam business end of iTunes. The fucking  
interface where you play
videos and podcasts. The place where you actually LISTEN and WATCH
your videos. NOT THE FUCKING DIRECTORY, where your listeners if they
are real listeners go once and then never ever ever again... I'm
talking about the place in itunes where it shows the feeds you have
subscribed to and the items it's downloaded to your computer.

In that pane... which is where your subscribers will spend 99.9999% of
their time watching your videos... there is not a SINGLE link back to
your website. NONE. FICKING NONE.

Do people even user itunes!?

I sometimes wonder. Because I find it the worst piece of shit
experience ever for watching videos. I don't know about anyone else...
but I find reading the accompanying post for the video... and going
and leaving a comment or visiting the original vlog on occassion a
compelling and essential part of the experience.... but iTunes POS
interface doesn't have ANY of this important meta info.
