iPodderX would not download you latest show. Did your address to download shows change? I had to download the show straight from the web site.
Looks like there are no ‘enclosure’ tags in your RSS for the last two shows. My client (RSS Radio) isn’t picking them up either.
First the good news: MUCH faster download. Coverville is BACK on my iPod!
But, as the two previous posters have noted, soething’s screwy with the enclosure – it’s not showing up properly in NetNewswire either. Had to download it manually.
As Dan Klass would say, “Thanks Brian of Coverville for fixing it so I can now hear the latest episode of Coverville! On Coverville.”
Nope, no enclosures in index.xml!

Doppler didn’t pull down the show…just the notes.
For those of us that download manually, the process is much improved.
A small comment on your credits for “I Heard It Through The Grapevine.” Although the Marvin Gaye version was cut earlier and “in the can” at Motown, Berry Gordy actually released the more uptempo Gladys Knight and the Pips version first. If you listen carefully to the end of the Gladys Knight version, you can hear James Jamerson playing the notes from the Marvin Gaye intro on his bass.
Neat show, thankyou. Left me with a big grin.
Yay, a successful download. To those of you having problems with iPodderX, try updating your subscribe code, select “catch up all podcasts,” and see if it lets you download.
Mahna Mahna is cracking me up…makes the work day go by faster. Thanks, Brian.
This was a great show! I am always suprised and amazed at how eclectic your collection is!
REALLY loved hearing Phil Keagy!
Great show. I thought I had heard every version of Wishing on A Star (one of my all time favorites), but once again this show surprises me with the depth of the music involved with it. Keep up the great work.
