iTunes stuff

Hey folks, some of you let me know in the comments that the latest episode of the show wasn’t showing up in iTunes. That confused me, because I saw very clearly that the iTunes feed had updated. But yesterday listener and Hundo Clubber Alberto De Jesus clued me in to what the issue might be, so I wanted to mention it.

If you manually subscribed to the show back when we were having to work around stuff on iTunes, you get a different feed from the people who just search for the show, click on it and subscribe. Frankly, I thought everyone had switched over to the new feed, so I didn’t update it last week. Turns out I was wrong.

So here’s what I’m asking: If you’re subscribed to the old feed, back from when I told you guys to type an address in manually, unsubscribe from that, find the show through search, and subscribe to that feed.

Then you’ll never miss an episode!

Audio Player Problems

Hi all,

Apparently there’s a problem with Google’s embeddable audio player, which is why it isn’t showing up in any of the posts. The good news is, I have found a fix and am going to try to get that taken care of over the weekend.

Cross your fingers!

UPDATE: Everything should be working now!
