I have heard from a couple of people that there have been some recent download issues with the podcast MP3s. 

There is some sort of new features being worked on by TypePad (the host provider for Tech News Radio) that are redirecting both browsers and podcatching clients to: http://sholden.typepad.com.nyud.net:8090/technewsradio/.

I think this is normal or as planned by Typepad, but I have noticed (and others also) very slow download speeds and sometimes DNS issues.

I have submitted a help ticket item, and as soon as I know anything I’ll let you all know. If anyone has any additional info, please send email to: technewsradio@gmail.com.

Thanks for your support!

UPDATE: TypePad is moving towards offering/utlizing the Coral distribution network.  They also appear to have some new "packages" for doing podcast distribution in the works.
