It gives an error message that the "Dungeons & Dragons Podcast does not seem to be a valid URL." I haven't changed any settings since I downloaded other D&D podcasts via iTunes.

The RSS feed XML file has an error in the latest entry.

The title says
"February 08, 2009: D&D XP/Open Grave"

In XML, "&" is a special character, so it should be
"February 08, 2009: D&D XP/Open Grave"

(the other bits seem to be fine, they do use the & codes where needed)

Hope you can fix this soon !

Busted for Zune as well. Which is to expected as it uses the same rss feed.

Another problem I have is that they don't seem to enter the dates right. I have a ton of podcasts listed from something like 8/10/2008.

A bit annoying. They put all this effort into making a podcast then fail to deliver it successfully. If we can't download the podcasts then some executive/manager will say. "Look at the numbers. Nobody wants your podcast so lets not spend any more money on it."

I enjoy the podcasts and would like more of them.

This will no doubt be fixed for the current episodes. I'm not so sure about older episodes. I still can't download episode 4 ("Adventures") or 7 ("The Nine Hells") in iTunes. I've reported both errors (err = 404), in iTunes and in the forums several weeks ago.

Sadly, the current podcast for PennyArcade ends mid-sentence.

Maybe they should give Mearles a contract just so he can teach the mysteries of the functional podcast?
