Technical Update

Hello fans. As we discussed on last week's show, our podcast host for the last 4 years, switchpod.com, went out of business during the offseason (or merged with a pay service, which for our purposes is the same). We are in the process of finding a new podcast host, but we have some pretty stringent requirements: it must take uploads of files up to 100MB, and it must be free.

So far, I haven't been able to find a site meeting those qualification. We are currently using drop.io/razorpod, and it works, but I am having trouble configuring the feed for itunes. Obviously, the best way is still a direct download or streaming directly from razorpod.blogspot.com

For now, here is a workaround for everyone who wants Razorpod delivered to their itunes so that they can put it on an iphone or ipod (I'm looking at you, Friday Night Guy!)

1. Go to drop.io/razorpod

2. Click on the "Share" button at the top.

3. Click on the "Dropcast" link in the menu

4. This will pull up a screen asking you to subscribe using itunes, click ok.

5. That's it! It should now show up on the podcast menu in your itunes and will be auto-updated every time we post a new show.

Drop us a line in the comments if you know of any free podcast hosting services that allow large file uploads.

Special K, at least you should feel comforted that a certain someone joined your pickem league.
