Snexploration RSS feed is down and I need your help

Snexploration’s hosting provider went down today and didn’t redirect my feed to the new one even though I asked very nicely. Twice. So if any of you are curious why you can’t download or listen to the new episode (or any old episodes)…that’s why.

Here’s the new RSS feed for now: https://anchor.fm/s/78f82c58/podcast/rss

I’ve fixed Apple Podcasts and Stitcher, which I know are popular. I’m working on player.fm which is not popular but it’s my podcatcher of choice.

What do you use to listen to podcasts? If you let me know I’ll try to get it redirected to the new feed.

I use an ancient version of Pocketcadts which got bought by some other company. I believe it pulls from Apple Podcasts.

I think I just use Google Podcasts at this point for everything

somehow this is just working, guessing they pull it from iTunes

I emailed them, so hopefully they can fix it. Otherwise, I’ll just submit it as a different feed, I guess.

Where do I go to listen to this exquisite podcast once again?

i despise spotify. they apparently deleted the podcast with no warning, and i have no idea why, when, or even what account it was under. they might have deleted my whole account.

anyway, i was prepared for this eventuality:

i’m going to reupload them as individual MP3s and then you’ll also be able to make an rss feed using this tool:

(but you can’t right now because they’re in a ZIP file)

apparently archive.org is not allowing uploads right now because the upload button just refreshes the page you’re on. that’s cool. what a joke.

anyway i’ll figure something out soon, i have the space to upload it, i just need to figure out how to make an RSS file manually I guess.

man i wrote descriptions for all these episodes too, those would all be lost if i hadn’t archived this a couple years ago. even then i’m not sure how to extract them from this RSS file and put them in a new one that points to the right place.

this is the second hosting service that’s just unceremoniously booted us from it. i guess i should have been paying for hosting lol.

player.fm has them

My podcatcher has them but that links to anchor.fm which itself forwards to spotify. Soooo “spotify” “has” the episodes but deleted the landing page.

okay that’s fascinating. because yeah anchor turned into Spotify for Podcasters (:face_vomiting:) so the redirect makes sense. the fact that they kept the files but won’t let me access the page is…well what’s the point then? not even saving space

Archive lets me download files from within a zip, so I can get them on my phone pretty easily at least.

Oh sick, this also has Book of Megadrive.
