Podcasting 101: How to get into iTunes (the Q&A thread)

The information in your description is usually the first line of the post in your blogger feed. If you want to hide the ‘Redirecting...’ you can highlight it and click ‘link’ in the toolbar above. I tend to use something like ‘free download click here’ as the link text. I hope this is the information you were looking for!

thanks gospeluk, that isnt what im looking for though.

if you have a look at the screenshot i attached in my last post, i am looking to change the “The very best of JanuaryOne every Month”…

(This is Gospeluk I just hadn’t signed out of my old account)

I see now. You have to log into your Feedburner account, click the ‘optimise’ tab at the top. Click ‘smartcast’ on the left and scroll down to the ‘podcast summary’ box. The information you enter here will be the description shown in iTunes.

Hope this helps!

great now give us the podcast link because its not on your website hommie

not sure what that means, but here it is: JanuaryOne Music Podcast - Podcast - Apple Podcasts

So many problems eh, why not go with a good host like Libsyn, Podbean or Podomatic and let them sort the technical stuff? (I use Podbean)

p.s @ gospeluk, lose the sig player dude before i arrange for it to disappear ;p

im actually pretty happy with the current set up. antifmradio helped so much setting this up, and now it is pretty solid, just a tiny thing like the subheadline is what i wanna change. apart from that big ups to mister antifmradio, incredible help!

…will check out podbean though :wink:

the plan i have with podbean is 300mb uploads P/M and unlimited storage. enough for my radio show and some.

i gave him 5GiGs - at the $10 rate

awesome!

hey, well i gotta do right by my dj-tech-tooligans right?

besides, all they need is just storage. So i figured, why give them a server that has all the extra bells and whistles
login stuff
control panels
bla bla blabliddy bla… they dont need it

now yesterday, someone did ask me if they can just use their wordpress account instead of blogger account for this.
My answer is basically, yes, yes you can but
wordpress often gets upgrades
and you need to install a plugin to make it work
then the plugin needs an upgrade too at some point

at that point, what will you do if your had wp connected to your podcast for say a year, and you havea years worth of podcasts that no longer work?

Iif you use blogger and feedburner (both owned and managed by Google) just let them deal with the technical stuff.
As long as they are doing that for you, the two accounts will ALWAYS work together needing no intervention from yourself.

All you need to do is… post a new blog article … and done.

Gentlemen,

any update on the Feedburner subtitle situation by any chance? :wink:

Sorry it took me so long to get the right answer for you Jan1
Follow this please

Log into your Feedburner account:

  1. click your feed title (i think you have only one in the list)

  2. click the OPTIMIZE tab

  3. in the left pane list - click “SMARTCAST” Smartcast should be activated. If its NOT, then activate it now please

  4. In the areas to fill out the information (in center list) youll see
    -Podcast Subtitle
    and
    -Podcast summary

  5. Click Save

If i am correct, the part of your podcast you are trying to change, currently says this
“The very best of JanuaryOne every month!”

If that is correct, then yes, that is being pulled from your Podcast Subtitle Area

Can you get this running on a ‘normal’ webpage instead of a blogger/wordpress site? How do I get the RSS feed to work etc?

nothing short of a genius man - thanks a mill, simply superb!!!

Hi,

I already send a message to antifm, but maybe I get here some help too.

I followed every step and in the end I reached the feed burner link to iTunes and got an email that they are reviewing it.
After 48 hours I got a second mail and they say it’s not going to be added to iTunes.
I double checked everything but I don’t know what is wrong.

Here is my blogger link: http://kycomixado.blogspot.com/?m=1

I am very thankful for your help.

Liqid is no joke.

Listen guys,
In the past couple of weeks this man has help me set up my podcast and with out a doubt has been there nearly every step of the way. Hung over or not, even after an insane 10 hour broadcast of his own he was still willing to offer a hand when I ran into trouble. Now for those of us that lead the double life of normal citizen and aspiring D.J., we all know that it is tough to balance out our priorities and ask ourselves “which life is more important?” In Liqid’s case, my hat is off to him. There have been a few times where a reply would start as “Hey mate, I’m still at work, but I’ll get to it as soon as I get home.” That’s the kind of dedication you can expect from this guy.Like I said He’s no joke.
Now I’ve recently ran into some hiccups with my feed not updating to my I-Tunes and it caused me to fall behind in my weekly episode guarantee I’ve given to my audience. Which made me have to revert to other ways of giving them a download in the most “to be expected” way of doing so (soundcloud all kinds of crap), I mean let’s face it, it sounds so much more legit telling someone “Oh yeah bro, just download my mix in i-Tunes. I’m on there.” How cool does that sound Profesh RIGHT!? This guy made it happen, when I needed it the most. I was considering starting from scratch because I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on with my feed FOR 4 DAYS!! Long story short, I asked, he replied. He found my problem. Oh your feed was just blocked by such and such so I went in with such and such and undid the cosmic galactic time space code that feedburner worships and BAM! Back on track! So in conclusion, I’m very appreciative that I ran into this guy and I hope you take his advice. Liqid, if we ever run into each other out side of cyber space, I owe you a pint my friend. Real Talk.
