Lol. No worries, MSJ, happens to all of us.

And I should mention to any newcomers reading, always an open call for new Cast members :).

Hi, I'm a new reader (just finished the first read-through of the series), and a new member to this forum, and I have been trying to start to listen to this podcast. (first episode was excellent!)

But... Is there a reason why this isn't published as podcast on iTunes? And that it is apparently uploaded to Soundcloud with the download ability turned off??? I scanned through this thread and saw some old and expired links and attempts to publish them. The iTunes links did not work, or seemed to be Canadian-only?

Anyway... The reason for this is that I very much enjoy listening to podcasts as I'm out exercising or driving, and being able to have them downloaded on my device saves a lot in cellular/mobile data costs. And... Soundcloud charges $7/month (!!!) to be able to cache things on your phone, a cost I don't want to expend for just this podcast, no matter how excellent it is.

So - Can someone summarize the current state of the downloadability (or iTunes access) of this podcast, in case I missed something obvious? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: Also, what happened to episodes #4, #6, and #7? They are missing from SoundCloud.

Welcome to the board, Titan :).

I think we picked soundcloud because it was one of the easier sites to use, and free. iTunes never worked out for us.

This is the first I've heard of the download thing, might be a 'paid' hosting option on our side or something, but we'll look into it. Stay tuned.

FYI, nothing we have done for the TSA community has had a fee or an advertisement that we have put on it. I'm sorry that soundcloud charges a fee for caching, but that's obviously not within our control.

Titan, I just looked into it all.

The download capability for our individual Soundcloud tracks is now turned on (it was previously turned off). I don't know if this avoids the cost for you (which is weird and as Wilshire says, I personally never want to charge the community for our second-order content).

Also, I figured everything out to host our RSS feed to iTunes. It says that process of approval takes anywhere between 24 hours and 2 weeks. As soon as I know, I'll update the thread and my opening post.

Thanks for the prompting. And, of course, welcome to the Second Apocalypse :).

Thanks Wilshire and Madness, I will check it out.

That is good news about the iTunes RSS, there are so many excellent 3rd party podcast players - playing downloaded MP3's on an iPhone is possible but a hassle. Thanks again!

And you might have missed my edit:
What happened to episodes #4, #6, and #7? They are missing from SoundCloud. Do I need to reach into the Outside to find them?  ;)

Lol - they are what we've come to call "LostCasts," which also includes a handful of "PreCast/PostCast" recordings.

I believe I have them explained elsewhere in the thread but:

- 4: GJ, SR, and I; I basically harangued them into a Cast and when we'd finished recording we discovered this terrible whine whenever SR spoke... I've tried a number of times to get rid of it and make it bearable but no luck.
- 6: FB, GJ, Bolivar, and I: FB was hosting and dropped out inexplicably at about 40 minutes.
- 7: GJ, SR, Bolivar, and I: immediately tried to recapture the Cast but GJ was hosting and he dropped out inexplicably at about 35 minutes.

They'll be posted one day :).

You're welcome!  8) (Although I'm not sure what I did...)  :D

It now shows up in my podcast player, and it is as I type this downloading all the episodes. Thanks so much!

Huzzah!

Well, you precipitated the events that have seen our feed propagated through iTunes, again, finally. Who knows how long we'd have languished between yesterday and whatever random future event might have prompted me to do that otherwise ;).

Hope you enjoy them! I apologize for the file size (probably unwieldy) and our amateurishness. And if you ever feel compelled don't hesitate to reach out. New members, new disparate perspectives, are the main reason that we can keep having new and interesting Casts.

Lol - I'll try and get WLW Reread Cast posted as soon as possible, William :).

Otherwise, best way to get new Casts is to get new Casters - though, I think we can safely say that we're locked-in now. Probably won't do another Cast before general release.

Right well who wants to do a podcast then...

Write when you're available, and we'll see if we have folk if not, we'll spend a couple of hours taping me ranting about trying to actually buy the fucking next book.

Indeed. And you know I'll... "mediate" or whatever it is I do ;).

Lol - that actually might be worth listening to :).
