Star Talk Radio Podcast

[CapturingTheNight (Greg)]

Hi all,

Just came across the podcast by Neil deGrasse Tyson called StarTalk Radio on iTunes, but I can not subscribe or download a single episode. I can not even play an episode within iTunes itself. It just does nothing. All my other podcasts are fine and I can play ones that I don't subscribe to from within iTunes without any problems. Does anyone here subscribe to this podcast or have similar issues? Podcasts are brilliant whilst out and about taking images of the night sky.

Cheers

Greg

Greg, the last episode I have was released 23/09/1013 but I did unsubscribe about then. I resubscribed and refreshed and didn't get any new ones.
Interestingly, when I went to the store it still said I'm not subscribed. Clicking the subscribe button didn't change that.
If you click on the episodes in the store list it will download them individually.
Wonder if Apple have broken things again with the latest iTunes update.
Wish they'd edit out all the adverts. It would halve the length of the episode.

Thanks for the info Andrew. I was not aware that it had a heap of ads within the podcast as I have not been able to listen to a single episode. The last one listed for me in the podcast store was from last week so they are presumably still making the episodes. I can't even download individual episodes. I have not updated my version of iTunes for quite a while which may be a possible reason why not but as I said everything else and every other podcast is fine. I'll see if I can track it down via another service, otherwise I will have to dive into the nightmare that is customer support.

Just an update: Opened up iTunes this morning and downloaded my usual podcasts and I thought I would try subscribing to Star Talk Radio again. And it works fine now. Not sure what was wrong before. I didn't change anything at my end.

I had a similar issue with other podcasts in my iTunes...all seems to be working well now though. Also, I didn't know Star Talk existed until I saw this thread, so thanks!!
