Updated RSS feeds

Our directory makes extensive use of RSS feeds. Firstly, we use the RSS feeds published on the Internet to obtain information and updates about the podcast channel and podcast items. Because we carefully select the podcasts that will feature in the directory, according to our criteria, there may be a delay between the inital publication of the RSS feed on the Internet and the information contained in the directory.

A gradually increasing number of feeds are beginning to publish just the current podcasts and update the RSS feed on a weekly basis. In effect, this means that the podcast listed in the directory is subject to constant change. Also, some podcasters are deleting their previous podcasts, leaving just making the current list available. We do not cache podcasts as the demand for storage space would be phenomenal!

The policy and practice adopted does vary between podcasters. Many prefer to provide an updated list and allow listeners to search through the back catalogue for previous podcasts.

Wherever you look for podcast listings, our advice is simple. Check the podcast channels you are interested in on a regular basis. As soon as you see a podcast you want - download it before you loose it!!!
