GDLG Podcast How-To

This post is here to help you enjoy the Grateful Dead Listening Guide’s Podcast Series. It will occasionally be updated, need be, and currently contains new feed address info for any of you currently subscribed to the podcast.

All podcast can be found via the linked menu on the left side of the site, and also under the label "podcasts."

There are a few different ways to listen to the podcasts. Hopefully one of these suggested methods will make it easy for you to enjoy the listening sessions:

1. Click on the link which leads to the MP3 file of an episode (generally, “Listening Session 001, 002, etc…" in each podcast post) and the file should begin streaming.

2. Right click (in Internet Explorer) on the link to the MP3 file and select “Save Target As…” This will allow you to download the podcast episode directly to your computer. From there you can load it into your player of choice. Other browsers should also provide ways to save the podcast MP3 files to your computer.

3. Subscribing in iTunes (note: new feed address info below):

While the show still remains frustratingly out of the iTunes Podcast Directory, you can still subscribe to the podcast feed in iTunes:

On your iTunes menu bar click on Advanced, then "Subscribe To Podcast."

In the URL field, paste this blog feed address:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/DeadListeningPodcastSeries

This will trigger the subscription and download of the entire series and keep you updated as new episodes appear.

Please note that this feed address has changed and is specific to the podcast series alone. It is not another blog to follow. While the podcasts will continue to be posted here on the guide, the GDLG feed itself is so large that older podcast episodes are slowly falling off the back end, making new subscribers to the podcast miss out on the earliest episodes.

If you have successfully used the GDLG blog feed to pull all the episodes into iTunes already (with the GDLG logo and full file descriptions), my guess is that it will continue to work just fine. If you do decide to switch to the new podcast feed, it will come into iTunes as a new show, triggering the download of all past episodes. A minor annoyance to consider deleting your historical episodes to make room for the same ones under a slightly different name, but it might make sense as one day we may formally divide the two feeds and post podcasts in the podcast feed only.

Again, this post will likely be edited in the future as things may change regarding the GDLG podcast and the iTunes Podcast Directory. Despite numerous failed attempts to work through iTunes Support, a resolution has not been found. Any iTunes Podcast wizards out there? I’d love some help. Drop me a line.

GDLG-001 - Audience Appreciation


Listening Session 001: A guided tour through spectacular audience recordings and memorable musical moments of the Grateful Dead, complete with the occasional story and insight aimed to help gain an appreciation for the audience tape medium.

Welcome to the kick off of the Grateful Dead Listening Guide's Podcast Series.

If you like, you can directly download the Listening Session 001 podcast MP3 file. Or, you can subscribe to the Podcast via iTunes, or your favorite pod catcher. It's all the same feed for the blog and podcast:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/GratefulDeadListeningGuide.

If you are already subscribed to the blog via a reader (GoogleReader, etc..), then you will probably see this post come through as a podcast (magic). I *think* I got everything set up "just exactly perfect." Please enjoy!

Happy New Year

Grateful Dead - Winterland - December 31, 1972

A very happy new year to all readers of the GDLG! I thought it wise to get a post in here now to alert you to an upcoming enhancement to the Listening Guide, as it is this enhancement that has caused a bit of a delay in my getting anything posted since just before Christmas.

I’ve decided to have a go at adding podcasts to the mix here. I think they will lend a very handy and personal level of musical sharing to the show review format we’ve followed throughout 2008. This is what I’ve been busying myself with over the holiday season. The last two weeks have seen the most activity on this end, and it has taken away a fair amount of the time I’d otherwise be devoting to writing reviews. I think I’m very very close to being able to post my first podcast to the blog, as I’m trying to push my learning curve as quickly as possible while attempting to do this podcast thing (and the associated feed settings thing) right the first time.

I’ve already completed production of the first episode, a two hour listening session where I’m essentially treating things as if I’m having you over to my house for an afternoon of Dead tape enjoyment. I’ll continue working with this format as I produce more episodes. In these installments, we will jump from show to show listening to a highlight or two from different dates, all working around some sort of theme, or as I’ve found, multiple themes. I’ll talk between the musical bits trying to add color with history, stories, and otherwise anecdotal information. My hope is that these will make for at least mildly entertaining listening, opening folks up directly to special musical moments and memories covered on these pages. Whether you’ve heard every show I’ve reviewed on the blog, or are new and looking for some fun direction, I warmly invite you all to pull up a comfortable chair and join me as I put together some musical adventures.

I don’t know that I’ll do much more than one episode a month (production is rather involved and time consuming), as I don’t want to slack off too far on show reviews. So, thanks for your patience. More to come soon…
