Old Podcast Episodes on iTunes?

[CJsMom]

I had been listening to the old shows and stopped around Dec. 2008. I wanted to go back and start listening to them again, but now I do not see them in iTunes. It looks like they only go back to May 2011. Does anyone know if it's still possible to get to the old episodes in iTunes? I know I can listen through the archives on disunplugged.com, but they are not in a format that I can copy to my Nano. Thanks!

The first thing I would try to do is right mouse click (assuming you are using a pc) on the podcast title in iTunes and select "show all available episodes." I don't think this will work because the xml file for the iTunes feed only goes back to 2011. (technical explanation here: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=34576274&postcount=3).

My iTunes shows all the episodes back to 2007 but I've kept copies of those since they were downloaded.

Second, it may be cumbersome but you can still download the individual mp3 files for each show. For example, if you go to http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-podcast/archives-2008.htm you will see buttons for the "discussion show" and the "email show." These link to the mp3 file. You can save the mp3 file to your computer (right mouse click, save as) and then import the files into iTunes to play on your nano.

I follow the "Some Enchanted Evening" method for the podcast recordings. "Once you have found her, never let her go."
