Kristof De Jaeger (swentel on drupal.org) joins Ryan Price and Mike Anello on the latest edition of the DrupalEasy podcast to talk about the (now unanimously agreed-upon) awesome Display Suite module.

Miscellany
Another stellar podcast, gentlemen!
Incidentally, the "CSS3 selectors simplified" link appears to be broken (simply an extra URL at the beginning).
In the part of the podcast concerning the Smashing Magazine article about the three leading CMSs, there was some speculation as to why online searches for "Joomla" outnumbered those for "Drupal" 3-to-1. Based upon my experience talking with other freelancers and their business prospects/clients, I think the main factor is that Joomla is most popular with web site builders who are not hard-core developers -- much more so than Drupal. Consequently, the site builders approach prospects with proposals for building sites using Joomla, prompting the prospects to search for more information on it.
thanks
Thanks for the kind words (and the bug report - the link is fixed).
Good point on the marketing aspect of Joomla vs. Drupal...

I think I got it
Another great podcast. Thanks!
I think I finally got a way to put words on the differences between Display suite, Panels and Page manager:
Examples of how these modules work together
Examples of how these modules overlap
Wow Johan!
I think that needs to go on a handbook page somewhere!
