Ryan Price and Mike Anello (Andrew is still recovering from SXSW) are joined by Salim Lakhani from WebEnabled.com to discuss recent events in the Drupal universe as well as our new partnership. DrupalEasy has been using WebEnabled's services for almost a year now and we've decided to make it official!

• Ryan - Drupal 7 Videos by linwclark

Site of the Week - every podcast we collectively pick a (usually new) Drupal site to be highlighted and discussed. This week's pick is Challies.com - (from the submitter): It was a large Moveable Type blog (two, actually) that I ported into Drupal 6--4,250 nodes and 40,000+ comments. It's not especially complicated or anything, but it has a huge readership--13,500 through Feedburner alone--which I thought made it a notable triumph for Drupal. (I think looks pretty nice, too.) The proprietor blogged about the change, expressing his excitement about the new platform, and I've been seeing comments from people who want to try Drupal now--even a Joomlahead!
