The Pickup radio sho (Page 1 of 2)

love all the shows.
Problem is that all the downloads don't always get you the correct show, and the earlier shows aren't downloadable still.

Can't figure out why they can't get the mp3 download right

This URL may be of interest:

h t t p://user.xmission.com/~cpclark/tpr.rss

(You'll probably need to remove the spaces embedded between the h, t, t, and p; I apparently don't have enough "forum points" to post actual links, so I inserted the spaces.)

That link can be entered as a podcast URL in iTunes.  Or if you have an iPhone/Pod/Pad with the Podcasts app, you can type that URL into the "Search My Podcasts" box.  From there you can subscribe.  Then you'll probably have to tap "Add Old Episodes" to select the episode(s) of interest.  At the moment, the podcast index has 22 episodes.

Minutiae for techies: The URL above is just metadata -- it does not contain or involve copies of thepickupradio.com's original audio content.  The rss file contains nothing more than a reformatted version of the index information already available on thepickupradio.com's "Past Shows" web page.  In that sense, the rss file is kind of like google: it's just a handy index of information available elsewhere.  When you play a podcast via a "subscription" to that link, your podcast player downloads the audio/mp3 file from the same server that your web browser would use if you were listening or downloading from a browser session.  A "podcast" is not magic -- it's just a different kind of web page (rss/xml instead of html).  If someone here knows how to contact thepickupradio.com's webmaster, maybe we can get them to add such a feed to their web page.

Fantastic, thanks so much!  Now I can get caught up during my commute.

I'm not sure what the podcast app is, but if you've downloaded them in iTunes, you have to tell your iOS device which podcasts to sync.  In iTunes, when you click on your ipod to manage it (change apps, etc) , there's a "podcast" tab.  You have to enable syncing podcasts, then select whichever ones you want.

On your iPhone/iTouch, under Music, there's "more" tab with a Podcasts option.
On a clickwheel iPod, under Music, there's a Podcast menu.

Thanks guys! I'll give these a try when I get home today.

This weeks Radio Show is from The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

wish the scrolling pictures would have shown the guitars Joe and Etal were looking at at the time.

I agree, Mary. This was by far my favorite episode.
