Blue Box Podcast #10 - Second Posting

I wondered why the downloads for show #10 were so slow in coming...

Many of you have probably noticed by now that your podcast receiving software (iTunes, iPodder, etc.) downloaded a PDF file instead of the MP3 file for podcast #10.  This turns out to be a problem with how I had the content in the show notes.  It appears that Feedburner (the service we use for our RSS feed) must simply take the last link  that points to a non-text object and packages that up as the enclosure for download.  In this case, I had a link to a PDF file somewhere later in the text and that was apparently taken.  It seems rather strange, as I'm sure we had PDF files in links before, but this is the only explanation I can think of.

In any event, I repeated the reference to the MP3 file at the bottom of the post and that seems to have fixed the feed.  Now, unfortunately, it seems the only way I can force podcast receivers to download the new episode is to re-post the MP3 file for podcast #10 as part of a new post (i.e. this one). So I have done that in this message - but it may mean that some of you will wind up downloading the episode twice. (It is all a matter of timing - if you already downloaded the PDF file, odds are you will only get one copy of #10. If you haven't yet downloaded any, you will probably wind up with two copies.) 

My apologies to you all for the mixup (and potential duplication).  I will now know better.

Right here you can download the latest episode (podcast #10) from this website.

Thanks to listener Craig Bowser for pointing this out.
