 * My podcast is [http://www.timhaighreadsbooks.com](http://www.timhaighreadsbooks.com)
   
   It’s a series of interviews with authors. Some authors are interviewed more than
   once. I want to list them as a right-hand-side widget, like the category widget.
   If I try to drag a second Category widget into the Primary Widget area, I get
   the same categories as already exist in the original Categories widget. I want
   a second, category widget with its own categories (so I can put authors’ names
   in there and have that available for visitors like a search function – the same
   way the categories menu works right now but with other categories in). How can
   I have a second category-type widget with my own “categories” in, please? OR 
   How can I achieve what I want to do by some other means? Please. Johnny

 * Looks like a job for a plugin:

 * You can add multiple cat widgets and in each include/exclude cat’s by cat id.

 * Try using ultimate shortcode plugin which has multiple option to insert your 
   post list and category and many other options! 🙂
