Is there a way to get the pod casts via ftp or email subscription. I am behind a firewall that blocks the site itself. Thanks in advance.

If you can get to Google, you can subscribe through Google Reader: you'll just have to get someone to pass you the appropriate URL. With any luck, you'll get your data passed through to you by Google.

One strangeness I encountered was that the "mini-player" which showed up played back the latest episode at double-speed Not quite certain how to get around that one, which happens in both IE7 and FF2 If that happens to you, you're probably out of luck since the alternative is to save the MP3...which you already said you couldn't do

HTH HAND
