Direct download links added to podcast posts and feed

Ok so it seems some people have been having a bit of trouble downloading/subscribing to the podcasts recently. For the majority however it seems to be fine, as the stats show. But I for one don’t want to leave anyone out and I know that some people don’t want to use iTunes (understandable) and/or a podcatching program and still enjoy Turntable Radio.
So to that end I’ve now added (and will continue to) direct download links to all podcast posts, starting from our first podcast back in November 05. This will also be reflected in the feeds, so that those of you subscribing to the RSS feed but with a RSS reader which doesn’t show the files will be able to also access the files easily. This also means now that older podcasts are now available to download again – as our feed only holds up to the latest 10 items. This means that if a podcast you’re after doesn’t show up in the feed anymore you just have to search the podcast category on the site and you’ll find a direct download link.
This should help those of you having difficulties with the subscription/feed. However I’d like to stress that having people subscribe to the feed is also still very important as it helps keep an easy tab on downloads for the show as well as actual listener numbers, which we can then use ourselves to try and make things better for the show, and thus you the listeners.
To subscribe to the feed you can choose any of the following options:
- Add the following link into your RSS reader or podcatcher: http://feeds.feedburner.com/turntableradio
- Go to http://itunes.resonancefm.com. This will open your iTunes and send you to the Resonance FM podcast page where you can select Turntable Radio and add it to your subscriptions. In addition from the iTunes page you can also stream the shows
- Use any of the shortcuts available on the top right corner of the website to add the feed to a range of podcatchers including Odeo, Yahoo etc…
That’s about it, hopefully these change will ensure that everyone is able to enjoy the podcasts. Thanks to all the listeners for the support and all the artists/labels for their continued support as well.

Ha ha i was mate. I’d been meaning to do it for a while too, so your predicament was the one to tip me over and remind me to do it!
Hope you enjoy it sir!
