I thought I was subscribed to the Straight Dope podcast via itunes. However, I have not received any new episodes since Mar. 24.

Am I doing something wrong?

It does have a factual answer, but fine.

I’ve noted the same thing.

It seems that the SD podcasts are updated quite irregularly on iTunes

There was a note posted a while back that they were going to stop, and that might be permanently.

Infoble, the company that produced the podcasts, has put them on hiatus.

We do not know at the present when – or if – they will return.

As soon as we do have more information we will let you know.

Hi, I just found this thread on Google. I hadn’t turned on iTunes in a while and I missed the last 2 episodes, and iTunes won’t let me download them. Is there somewhere else I can get them?

The episodes are titled “Are Hurricanes Getting Worse?” and “How Common is p\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*a?”

What a bummer- didn’t know they existed !! Who read them ?

Guessing [this page](http://www.straightdope.com/podcast.html) is no longer relevant. :dubious:

They were great to listen to while working in the kitchen. Now I’m stuck with Freakonomics, Car Talk, and Quirks & Quarks. Not as humorous.

I guess Ska Brewing wasn’t making enough money from their adverts …

My idea of Hell is being stuck in a car where the radio station can only play “Prairie Home Companion” and “The Diane Rehm Show.”

I could probably live through PHC if they cut out the music. Otherwise, I’m with ya.

They’d also need to cut out Garrison Keillor.

Yeah. I think I was over Garrison Keillor around about 1989.

We must for a moment give a tip 'o the fedora to a man whose entire career is based upon the sound of inhalation through a dense forest of nasal hair.
