I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. I couldn’t figure out a better place to do it.

I’ve been unable to update the Straight Dope podcast in iTunes for several weeks now, and am receiving an error indicating that the URL is incorrect. I’ve tried to update it on several different machines in several different networks, and receive the same error in each place.

The URL that iTunes is attempting to use for the podcast is:

[http://straightdope.infoble.com/Podcast/TemplateGenerator.aspx?ukey=61ef1b88ac0b4b429ae140e7790c6179&source=audio](http://straightdope.infoble.com/Podcast/TemplateGenerator.aspx?ukey=61ef1b88ac0b4b429ae140e7790c6179&source=audio)

Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Have I found a glitch in the matrix?

I’m using MediaMonkey 4.0 and URL to The Straight Dope podcast  
[http://straightdope.infoble.com/rss.xml](http://straightdope.infoble.com/rss.xml)  
I’m not able to answer why you have problems with iTunes, but be sure that my combination of player and URL works just fine, and if you are unable to fine a solution feel free to switch.

I had identical issues with the feed too, starting a couple of weeks ago. (I use iTunes too.) I went and resubscribed using the link that **Synthx** provided, and it seems to work fine now. Not sure why, though it’s possible that it was just a server switch on Infoble’s part or something like that.

Also, this thread might be better suited to ATMB or CCC/SR.

Okay. Sorry for the thread misplacement. And thank you both for the information.

No worries about the thread placement — that comment was mainly for a mod to read if one happened by. Hope the resubscription thing works for you.

The link that **Synthx** mentioned isn’t working for me anymore. Is anyone else having better luck?

The podcast went on hiatus a few months ago, alas. See [this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16336995)
