The joys of RSS feeds

Thanks to those of you who notified me of the “break” in my podcast feed in iTunes. I’ve contacted iTunes and I’m trying to find out what’s wrong.

You can see the podcast in iTunes and play the episodes, but the subscription link doesn’t seem to work right now.

In the meanwhile, here are direct links to the feeds for both versions of my podcast (the iTunes AAC versions, and the MP3s, which are not as up to date as the iTunes versions, but very popular in China!)

UPDATE: iTunes says my feed is fixed. Meanwhile, I have a great playlist for episode #67 (it’s uploaded here if you want a sneak preview before I get the playlist online!). Over one hour of great tracks. Stay tuned (and sorry for the wait)!
