Note: podcasts now seem to be appearing every Friday, give or take. We’ll see how long we can sustain it.

A reminder: I am running the podcast feed on a separate blog, but there’s no reason to click on that link. You can subscribe to our podcasts either via that blog’s Feedburner feed or its original atom feed(to do so within iTunes, go to “Advanced” and then choose “Subscribe to Podcast” and paste the feed URL). Individual episodes may be downloaded from the Podcasts tab.

For now, I’m uploading files in both m4a and mp3 format. If you can’t get the former to play, try the mp3 version. Note that people seem to be having real trouble streaming the audio files from the podcasts tab, so you might try downloading them.
