I'm curious what has happened to the UK podcast?  I had to go over to the UK site to watch it on my computer because ITunes said I can watch it on my ipod.  I was able to listen and watch on my ipod in the past.

Is there an answer?

Thanks

We recently discontinued the video podcast version of Uncommon Knowledge because hardly anyone used it. The audio version is available here. If you have an iPod Touch, you can watch the video at Hoover.org/UK. 

Alfredo Delgado: I watched it. How many resources were devoted to encoding for the video podcast and keeping the RSS feed going? Could a volunteer take it over?

Jim Flenniken: ditto Alfredo, i subscribed to it on iTunes and downloaded it religiously, watched it on my treadmill but especially watched it while i was on a plane between cities. while i won't complain about the audio version as a download, i will say that watching on the hoover.org site requires an active internet connection.

Blue Yeti: The number of subscribers to the video podcast feed was very, very low. I think we got a total of three complaints after we discontinued it. The audio version is very popular and we have no plans to discontinue it. 

And yes, a volunteer  could conceivably take it over. If you're interested in doing that, let me know.
