Nope, they just read from a hosted XML file which tells iTunes where to download the file and what the details of the file are...
Unless they download it from the server and host it themselves.. but I think the latter would be to cost inefficient.

Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped writing about other things and made this your signature, yours could be like mine. Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on Boat Drinks, reading the signature your signature could be like. I'm on a computer. |

It's actually quite hard for non IT literates to make a podcast.
XML for the Ricky Gervais Podcast (about 4-5 shows): Code:

It doesn't look that complex. All the code is pretty self explanitory i.e.
<itunes:author>Ricky Gervais</itunes:author> <pubDate>Sat, 19 Jan 2008 19:55:44 +0100</pubDate> All kind of makes sense. |

Yep but if you aren't confident with computers then you'd be ****ting bricks imo.

Just started listening to the mix egg. Well actually an hour ago so i have about 20 minutes left to go Top quality tunes you played, but it's just not the same without your drunken ramblings over the top Thoroughly enjoyed it though
