  1. Neville,

    I can’t explain why Craig Coleman (California) is having problems subscribing to FIR in iTunes.

    Although subscribing to FIR ‘the Royal way’ is not possible, Craig can use iTunes and subscribe to the FIR feed anyway.

    It goes like this:
    1. In the iTunes menu choose Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast ...
    Then A pop up window asks for the podcast feed.
    2. Fill in: http://forimmediaterelease.biz/rss.xml
    3. Click ok
    4. Done!

  2. Well, I’ll be .... I just IM’d Neville the exact same thing and he suggested posting it as comment. I use this method anytime I subscribe to a podcast, saves a lot of time.

  3. While I use Juice for podcast subscriptions, I subscribed through iTunes just to see if I could duplicate the problem. I went to the iTunes music store, selected podcasts, searched for “For Immediate Release,” clicked “Subscribe,” and was subscribed—and the most recent episode downloaded. No problem here, so I can’t explain Craig’s problem, either.
