I just discovered that some people use Podcast to download sermons. I have signed up for Jon Barlow’s podcast and John Owen Butler’s Psalmcast, but wouldn’t it be great in Doug Wilson, Rich Lusk, or others put there sermons on podcast? It would certainly save me the trouble of having to go to a website, check for a new sermons, and download that sermon.
It looks like Tenth Pres has already started doing it (only recently perhaps?), and I’ve downloaded a few.
Apparently it isn’t difficult to do, either. Sites like feedburner.com set up the feed for you. All you have to do is supply the file (which the site you list already do). I think I’m going to do it for our website.
What is jon barlow’s podcast?
Jon would create files using Garageband and upload them. They are pretty good, but I don’t think he’s done it in awhile.
Actually, my sermons are available for d/l as a podcast at http://okbhpc.blogmatrix.com. You can click on the link for for adding the RSS feed into your podcatching utility. It is also available at iTunes.
SermonAudio.com allows you to subscribe to RSS feeds from its various “broadcasters.” I use it to podcatch materials from Joel Beeke and others.
Our church (http://www.christtheking.com/) has made sermon mp3s available for a while now and supposedly started providing podcasts. I haven’t checked to see if they work or not.
Do the RSS feeds at sermonaudio work as podcasts? I have a few subscribed in my reader, but I’ve never tried putting them into iTunes (which I use for podcasts).
Nathan, I found Christ the King (Houston, right?) on iTunes by searching for Presbyterian.
Does anyone know how to load an RSS into iTunes? John, I’d love to add your sermons to my podcast, but I don’t know how to get it from your blogmatrix into iTunes. Gregg Strawbridge has a similar thing. I can load his RSS into my Yahoo account and see links to new sermons, but I’d like to get them into iTunes directly.
Mike, do you mean adding a feed to the iTunes directory? Or adding a feed that isn’t in the directory to your list of podcasts?
I don’t know how to do the former (though I’m told it’s easy), but for the latter, go to the Advanced menu, and select add a podcast (I think… I don’t have iTunes at work so I can’t confirm that… but I know it’s in the Advanced menu).
Yeah, the sermonaudio link works for podcasts.
Mike, in iTunes, go to Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast > paste in http://okbhpc.blogmatrix.com/index.xml in the dialog box.
