I love listening to the AGI show. I was turned onto to it (months ago) by listening to "The Video Game Show" podcast. And I haven't stopped listening since. Anyway, I've heard on the AGI podcast that some peeps out there missed a show or get incomplete parts of the show on itunes. We do have alternative ways of getting podcast besides using Itunes. Just know you guys can also subscribe to the RSS Feed of all the different shows listed on the website here. If you can cook Oodle of Noodles, then you can use rss feeds successfully.
Basically, RSS Feeds are links on a web page that automatically tell "subcribers" when a podcast(or other published items) has been posted for the listener to download(or listen instantaneously). All you need is a (1)a podcast receiver software like "Juice", or (2)news aggregators like Firefox's Wizz RSS Reader or web based news reader "Google Reader".
(1)Juice podcast receiver software is pretty easy to use. You take AGI's rss feed for example, "http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllGamesInteractive". Plug that in where it ask to input rss feed. Hit enter, and voila! It will list the current AGI shows available for download. The good thing about using the "Juice" software, is that you can have it automatically check for episodes of your favorite podcast everyday.. and then download them to your computer. Just be careful that you don't overload your hard drive.
(2a)Wizz RSS Reader is a news reader for the Firefox browser. It's a pretty handy piece of software. As mentioned before, just get the RSS link for the podcast you want, such as: "http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllGamesInteractive" and plug it in where you add the rss feed info.
(2b)Next is Google Reader, which is pretty simple to use. And it allows you to set up RSS Feeds via the internet. This gives you the opportunity to download or listen to any rss feed, where ever you can access a computer. Travelers and people on the go, who don't have a mp3 player will love this little web base news reader. Here's how to create a new rss feed in your account:
*Hit "Add Subscription" button
*Copy & paste the rss feed: "http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllGamesInteractive"
And place that in the box. Hit enter, and a list of available episodes will be listed for you. From there you can either listen or download each episode individually. And that's all you have to do.
You can use rss feeds for keeping up with podcasts and many other items frequently published via the web. Think of RSS Feeds like the Tivo of the web. Anything from keeping up with the latest podcast, news stories, job listinsg and even cars for sale in the classified ads. There are tons of uses for this thang... just tinker around with it...you might surprise yourself.
Here are a few of my favorite RSS Feeds:
Onion Radio News: http://www.theonion.com/content/feeds/radionews
All Games Interactive:http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllGamesInteractive
The Video Games Show:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheVideoGamesShow
ESPN Radio Daily:
