Downloading Music Files as a Podcast

April 30, 2008

On Monday, I linked to the episode of our radio show that we aired on Saturday, Ostrobogulous: Techno.  I was subsequently informed that since it wasn’t set up as a podcast, a few people were having an attack of apathy in downloading it.

How to download my radio show as a podcast:

  1. Open the music player of your choice that supports podcasts (or Zencasts or Zunecasts or whatevercasts).
  2. Add a new podcast.  In iTunes, this is under Advanced >> Subscribe to podcast…
  3. Use the following URL: http://awalton.wordpress.com/feed

    In order to use my domain teslasayshi.com, I have domain masking set up through a free DNS service.  The URL http://teslasayshi.com/feed is a valid link but the RSS function won’t work properly in iTunes.  Andrew Ferguson just informed me that the domain masking is using an iframe to display the site.  Ew!

  4. Wait for it to download and enjoy the smooth stylings of Amanda and Longhair.  Jawsome!
