 * Hi, first off, great plugin!
 * Ive gone through the documentation but could not find an answer to this. Our 
   them sets specific icons on posts per post format.
 * For example if we set a post’s format to “Video” it will show a play icon next
   to the post. If we set the post’s format to “Audio” it’ll show an icon of headphones,
   etc…
 * I noticed when we create a new podcast its just getting the default format “Standard”
   set to it.
 * Is there a way to set the format of the podcast post so we can say its either
   video format or audio format?
 * Just to confirm, Im referring to wordpress’s default post formats.
    - Standard
    - Link
    - Quote
    - Gallery
    - Video
    - Image
    - Audio
 * Thanks!
 * Clint

 * I assume that means that you’re using the `podcast` post type and adding new 
   podcast episodes by going to **Podcast > Add New** in the admin menu.
 * In that case all you need to do is add post format support to the `podcast` post
   type. You can do this by adding the following line to your theme’s `functions.
   php` file:
 * `add_post_type_support( 'podcast', 'post-formats' );`
 * That should sort you out as it will make all of the post formats available when
   creating a new `podcast` post.
 * If this has helped you then please consider supporting continued development 
   by leaving a review.
 * Cheers,
    Hugh
