iTunes not refreshing

For unknown reasons the latest episode has still not appeared up on the iTunes DriveTime page after three days. It usually takes a bit to appear, but never this long. It does download from iTunes if one is subscribed to the feed.

Coincidentally (or not so coincidentally,) I've added a little 'Subscribe with FireAnt' chicklet (above the iTunes chicklet no less!)

Update:
This has been fixed.

And the three make their way to a car wash for a sweeps-ladened date with destiny.

DriveTime 2005 Winter Hiatus

DriveTime has officially entered its 2005 Winter Hiatus (ie. no commuting going on right now, so no studio time right now).

We'll be back in 2006 with new episodes, surprise guests, near-misses and other fun!

Episode Eleven



In the conclusion to episode ten, writer Peter Bebergal reads a piece about Chanukah and Christmas for Ravi -- and a "digital Sonia." Finally, as Ravi and Peter chaw over some Australian licorice, a somewhat semi-regular proposition is offered.

Host "issues"

So close, yet so far.

The latest episode is done and uploaded, but the Internet Archive is experiencing some problems in accepting the metadeta for the clip.

So it's not viewable.

Again, I think I need to find another host.

Thanks for your patience.
