The Hour Podcast

Posted: February 19th, 2007 | Author: Dan Misener | Filed under: CBC, Podcasting, the hour | 2 Comments »

Scanning through the iTunes podcast directory today, I came across something called The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos Video Podcast.

Now, iTunes doesn’t easily let you see the feed information for podcasts listed in its directory, but if you ping a feed (using its ID from the Music Store URL) like this:

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=215119383

You get:

Podcast Ping Received
Podcast Feed URL: http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/rss/itunes_video.xml
Podcast ID: 215119383

Thanks, iTunes.

I haven’t seen this published anywhere (not even on The Hour’s site), but it’s listed in iTunes, and discoverable by mere mortals.

Update: Seems like all that sleuthing may have been in vain. CBCer Paul points to a post on The Hour’s blog that announces this podcast dated February 15th. Also, there’s an audio podcast feed too.
