The Drabblecast Forums

That media does not appear to be in Blubrry and I don't know how to fix it in (the newer) WordPress. Contact ZimmermansWay and/or tbaker2500 to get that fixed. Meanwhile, the episode appears to (still) be at: https://www.drabblecast.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/drabbleclassics-2-over-the-walls-of-...

It could be that the LG device cannot handle Apple's {censored}-up M4A format.

If you are downloading the M4A file (feed URL https://www.drabblecast.org/feed/podcast-m4a/), stop and switch to the MP3 format.

Yes, and I've donated: time, money, and a related domain (twitfic.net), but I know realize it wasn't enough: THANK YOU Norm for almost 400 episodes of FREE content you've put out. As another good podcast says "A Buck a show, that's all we ask". Considering that I'm paying that much to other podcasts...

That sounds like B Sides episode 13, "Snuggle the Dead".

Yeah, have the same problem. Are you using iTunes on Windows? I suspect it's an iTunes or an iTunes profile bug, since my iTunes will not download 2 other podcasts as well (I'm writing a Python downloader and will stop using iTunes altogether one day). Anyway, until it's fixed you can use the "Downl...

Thanks!

The Episodes page lists a new short metacast from Norm.

But this does not appear in the iTunes/RSS feeds (http://www.drabblecast.org/feed/ and http://www.drabblecast.org/feed/podcast-m4a/).

Hmmm. Hunting a mythical whale of legend; that always ends well! Sign me up.

Episode 386 is the latest episode.

Drabblecast is mostly run by Norm Sherman; and real life has claimed him...

If you have paid for B-sides but not received your login credentials, PM tbaker2500.

On your twitter account for one. Go ahead, start with that identity theft twabble.

I prefer that first version. It's clearer and the voice more "active". Possible variant: Sun must never...

Pretty much; sorry.

I drop by OIABM to sweep spam under the rug...

You should have got an automatic email with that info, I think.

Tbaker2500 handles the server/software side of things. Contact him. And then please let me know how it goes.

It's not looking good. Norm even left Escape Pod, which was his first love. Hope he's all right...

The episodes can be downloaded from their main entry pages: http://www.drabblecast.org/2013/06/30/drabblecast-285-unique-chicken-goes-in-reverse/ and http://www.drabblecast.org/2014/06/08/drabblecast-327-fire-tree-world/ See the "Podcast: Download" link near the bottom of each, main entry, page.

I'm sure Norm would appreciate any funds you wished to donate. And, if you give $120 or $10/month, it unlocks all the B-sides episodes for you. My hunch is that the only way to get more regular episodes, though, is if you can seriously help with production (slush reading, editing, podcast audio, etc...

Probably not, and certainly not officially.

Think of it like a new The Venture Bros. episode, or a new, good, Stephen King story... It may be a few more years, but eventually you'll get one.
(And unlike Drabblecast, those other two are paid handsomely.)
