recommended modules

Here's what I wanted to do:

I want to load an external page (external to my drupal site) that contains a flash file (swf) in a way like the Greybox of Orangoo Labs. I search if there is an existing greybox modules and seen many of the available modules gives a lightbox effects and I don't know if it will fits my needs.

After several weeks of tangling with code I have release a new version of the JQuery Menu module that now provides an api for parsing hierarchical arrays into jquery click and expand menus. I have also released two new modules which make use of this api: the Advanced Taxonomy Blocks and the Advanced Book Blocks modules.

Greetings from Texas!
I've been using Drupal to build sites for a couple of years, but, have never incorporated podcasting. I now have a need to build a site to host the business podcast of a long term customer. I'd like to leverage the experience of my fellow Drupaler's to climb the learning curve rapidly.

• What are the best modules to use for podcasting? Why?
• What are best practices (tips/tricks/traps) for Drupal podcasting?
• When should I roll-my-own using CCK/Views?

TIA, David
