PodBean Trial Period

PodBean Trial Period

Listeners,

Because of our continued dissapointment with Switchpod, our current podcast hosting company, we are in the testing phase of switching to a new hosting provider.  This provider is called PodBean, and for the same price we currently pay, should provide us with more reliable service as well as much-enhanced statistics over what we get now.  We know how inconvenient it is to have to re-subscribe to a podcast feed, but please bear with us as we sort this out.

Right now, the podcast will be hosted in both places.  If we can actually get our current episodes uploaded to SwitchPod, you will see them in your regular feed and all will be normal.  At the same time, we will put the new episodes in our PodBean feed as well.  I have attempted to contact SwitchPod via email (which has been reliable in the past) three times in the past few days, and have never heard back.

Please help us out by subscribing to the new Inside The Console feed with your podcast program (iTunes or other).  To do this in iTunes, highlight the feed URL below and select Copy.  Open iTunes, and on the Advanced pulldown, select Subscribe to Podcast, and paste the URL in that window.  iTunes should then subscribe to the new feed.

PodBean RSS Feed URL:

http://insidetheconsole.podbean.com/feed/

You can also use the new embedded media player on this blog's sidebar to listen to the episodes from PodBean if you don't want to subscribe or download the files directly.  Know that if we do make this switch permanent, it will be a slow process over the course of several episodes of the show, in order to ensure that as many listeners as possible can make the switch without being suddenly cut off, which has sadly happened to us in the past.

Keep it here for more on this process, and thanks for sticking with us.
