How to subscribe to The Daily English Show in iTunes

There are several feeds you can use:

1. Crackle

or

http://crackle.com/rss/media.ashx?fi=&fu=304436

Notes:

Crackle is the first website I started uploading to. All of TDES videos are there.
Often there are problems with the Crackle site - but their support team is good. So if you ever have a problem, please let me know.

Unfortunatley, the sound quality for Crackle videos (when downloaded in iTunes) isn't very good.

2. Blogger

Blogger recently started this service. Seems great so far! (Well, some days it's great - videos get uploaded in about 10 mins - and some days it won't work at all.) I've uploaded a few videos and if it keeps working well, I'll gradually upload the older ones when I get time.

3. a4esl.org/tdes/

http://feeds.feedburner.com/tdes

You can only download about the latest 70 videos with this feed and it uses Crackle videos, so the sound quality isn't very good.

4. Peevee.tv

You can only download the latest 8 videos and all the titles are in Japanese.

How to subscribe in iTunes using above feeds:

1. Copy the link.

2. Open iTunes.

3. Click on 'Advanced' from the menu.

4. Click on 'Subscribe to Podcast'.

5. Paste the link.

6. Click OK.


The future of The Daily English Show video podcast:

If we had any money we could host the videos ourselves, which would be better, I think. Until then, if you know a good place to host them for free, please let me know.

I'm still learning about podcast feeds. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, comments etc about the links, please ask.
