We're giving podcasting a try (with some encouragement from Nature's Harmony farm cast).  Hope you'll check out our new Coopcast  http://www.chickenthistlefarm.com/coopcasts/

Awesome!  Looking forward to listening.

I tried to download the podcast through iTunes over my phone, and I'm getting the following error, Unable to Download Podcast, "Coopcast 1 - Meet our Farm" could not be downloaded at this time. I am able to download other podcasts. Not sure if it is a problem on my end or something wrong with getting it through iTunes...just thought I would mention it. :)

Chris - going to troubleshoot that!  iTunes is more difficult to manage that one would think!! 

Comment by Chris Henderson on January 4, 2012 at 4:26pm

Thanks. I'm excited to hear your podcast.

Chris - we "think" we have it figured out.

Short version - Give iTunes a day to "re-index" the xml feed and give the download a try again from your iPhone.

Long version - We use SquareSpace to host our site + podcasts...  after an arduous process with both Apple (ugh) and SquareSpace (sigh) it looks like the framework at SquareSpace hoses up podcast file downloads for iOS devices. Maybe the next coopcast will cover the fine art of XML formatting, iOS devices and podcast streams... err, maybe not!

Hope it works - keep us posted!

Loved the show.  The casual conversation was topical, entertaining, and informative.  Consider me a subscriber.  Keep up the good work!

http://theselfsufficientgardener.com/ - Jason Akers does a great job talking about homesteading and gardening.

http://sshomestead.com/ - Johnnymax and the Queen on homesteading and gardening  Johnny always comes up with interesting homesteading ideas!

http://www.smallhomefarm.com/ - Erin Lahey talks about small scale farming & homesteading it has been informative and she is very consistent in putting out shows.

http://www.voiceamerica.com/show/1565/sustainable-agriculture-spotl... - Jeff Birkby did a great job on this one there is a ton of farm info but it is no longer has new episodes however there are plenty to listen too and they are worth browsing.

The Survival Podcast, Bubbatanicals and Chicken Thistle Farm were mentioned but I would like to give those a thumbs up I really like listening to Nature's Harmony but the feed doesn't like to load sometimes..

That's it for now I need to check out a couple that are posted above!

Thanks RTF...we'll add those.  After a few months of arm twisting I'm pleased that the Farm Dreams podcast will start shortly and join the fantastic group above!

Cool deal I'll be looking for it to hit iTunes!!

Comment by Chris Stelzer on January 20, 2012 at 7:32pm

I'd also like to shamelessly mention my website. www.AgriculturalInsights.com I'm currently interning with Greg Judy in Missouri and I have a blog/podcast about my experiences here with how-to's, interviews and Sustainable Agriculture in general. I'd love to see some of you come over and comment on my posts, we've been having some good conversations over there. 

Thanks!

Chris

I listened to the first Farm Dreams "farmcast" and enjoyed it. I'd like to be able to subscribe to the RSS but the link doesn't work for me? I don't have iTunes (and would prefer not to) but I'm not sure if there's any other way for me to access it?
