Clicking that brings you to a new page where you can select a rating between 1 and 5 stars and write a brief review of the episode.

- How can I favorite a podcast?
  
  On each podcast page you’ll find the outline of a star above the podcast title. Clicking this star fills it in and designates the podcast as a favorite (for logged in users) or invites the user to log in or register for an account (for users who are not logged in). You can find favorited podcasts displayed on the My Profile page associated with your account (https://podknife.com/profile).

Press the “Confirm” button and you should be all set, logged in and ready to review and favorite podcasts as you wish.
