What I go to the website [http://www.straightdope.com/podcast.html](http://www.straightdope.com/podcast.html) it says it can’t load the feed.

Then when I visit [http://straightdope.infoble.com/rss.xml](http://straightdope.infoble.com/rss.xml) it mentions the url doesn’t exist.

The RSS is still functional; the podcast is on hiatus. Not sure when it will return. We’ll let you know if/when it does.

I think you have the wrong link for the RSS feed, here is what I think it’s supposed to be:

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/external.php?type=rss2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/external.php?type=rss2)

You can also create a custom RSS feed of a subset of forums by appending an include option to the link, e.g.

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=4,12](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=4,12)

which would only include posts from MPSIMS and IMHO. (You can get the forum ids by scrolling over the link on the main forum index.)
