iTunes reports an invalid URL, and [Infoble.com](http://Infoble.com) reports an error with the XML file that does the RSS feed.

I hope it’s fixed soon, I’m missing my fix of Dope!

I just tested it from within a standard web browser (Firefox 11.0) and they all seem to be working for me, including this weeks’.

Thanks for checking, Una. I’m accessing it through iTunes and I’m getting an error about the url could not be found on the Infoble web site, so something might have changed there.

Ah, sorry, the OP didn’t say iTunes…I see that there is a problem with it temporarily, according to the mail I received this morning.

Looks like iTunes fixed whatever the problem was – all the Straight Dope podcasts are updated at the iTunes store and the list is current.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

My wife and I are heading out on a 9,000 mile drive in a month and it’ll be nice to have some of these queued up and knowing that we’ll get more while we’re on the road!
