Where do you even go to look for podcasts these days? The podcast.bokee.com link wushijiao has now
redirects to mov.bokee.com, the 音频 tag on podlook hasn't had anything new for months and seems
to be mostly music and stuff about 美女s, (I'll stick to video for that, thanks), antiwave
hasn't updated for two or three weeks and the likes of lifepop.com and tudou.com I can't get to
just show me audio content. I can't see how it's possible to get iTunes to show you only chinese
language podcasts, if there even are any on there beyond the news ones.

I'm quite possibly missing something. Help me out. The most I've managed to do is find the rss for
the 有一说二 shows, which seem to still be updating every week or two.

Wish I could help. I usually just listen to Radio Free Asia and 德国之声, which gets me to
about an hour and a half of listenings per day.

The French service also has a podcast that was downloadable from the Mainland as of July.

Do you have a functioning RSS feed for News茶座? All the ones I can find just don't work in
iTunes.

德国之声 I still listen to but after listening almost daily for a few months now I feel the
need for a bit of a change.

RFA I was listening to, but I can't figure out a way to get round the firewall in iTunes.

Don't they have any proxy configurations in the windows version of iTunes?

On a Mac, if I configure my machine's proxy settings to use a tunnel, then iTunes can access RFA
without any problems.

See here, already have a topic open on the issue. I was hoping there might be a simpler
solution　．　．　．

Have you tried downloaded the NEWS茶座's from their official website and then putting it into
iTunes? (I know that's almost too much to be bothered with, but still).

Also, the RFA website has tons of MP3 listenings that you can download, often including the
transcript. For example, they have a few hours worth of reading from Zhang Rong's Mao book

I'm really looking for stuff that I can set up automatically. However, I've got the 有一说二
and RFA podcasts working now, plus Antiwave updated yesterday with an interview with one of the
groups that does all the subtitling for foreign TV shows (YYeTS or something?) so that might be
quite interesting.

Coming to appreciate the RFA podcasts - you do need to accept that you aren't going to get much
good news, and it really is going to be mostly politics and dissidents, etc, but once you've got
past that it is fairly good quality content. Particularly good to have the phone interviews with
the people at the sharp edge of all this.

Me too. I also like that they cover quite a few news events per day.

By the way, it seems that RFA and 德国之声 both haven't updated their iTunes since October 6th
or so. Does anyone know what the deal is? A few other podcasts sites that I go to regularly
(Anderson Cooper/ NPR's Talk of the Nation) seem to have the same problem. Maybe they are all lazy?










roddy -

I can see that they haven't updated on the actual iTunes site, but it doesn't seem to be affecting
the downloads, which I think work by your iTunes software getting stuff directly from the RSS
feed. Wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.
