Thanks, I was meaning to find out the correct spelling. I noticed
the reader was saying it funny.

OK I went leoville.com and to Mac Break Weekly and put that URL in
I Toones. Is this correct? It has I Toones link which brings up I
Toones, but it still asks for a URL in I Toones.
As Kevin said it's actually easiest to subscribe to podcasts
through the iTunes
Store, but from leoville.com I can find 3 ways to subscribe to the
podcast. Read
through this message first before you jump on doing just putting in
a URL.
First of all if I go to leoville.com, bring up the links chooser
menu with
VO-keys+U and type "Mac" I can find the link for "MacBreak Weekly"
I VO-keys+space bar twice, the first to go to the link on the
current page
and the second to navigate the link to the linked web page, and it
takes
me to the page that describes the MacBreak Weekly podcast. If I use
the item chooser menu (VO-keys+I) and type subscribe, I find an item
for a subscribe popup button. I down arrow and find two (of the
listed)
options of interest: iTunes AAC and RSS.
If I select RSS, I'm taken to the RSS feed for the podcast:
feed://leoville.tv/podcasts/mbw.xml
If I put this address into the Advanced Menu URL prompt, I'll be
subscribed to the podcast. But, as Kevin said, this is really not
the easiest way to do things. I would have had an easier time
if I had simply put the iTunes Store in the Source list and typed
"MacBreak Weekly" into the Search Text Field, then navigated
to the Songs Outline Window to the first item and "clicke" on
the button to subscribe.
In fact, the other option from the subscribe popup button, "iTunes
AAC"
takes me to the iTunes Store podcast page for MacBreak Weekly
where the last 23 episodes are listed, starting with the most
recent. I interact with the Songs Outline and right arrow over
to the description column where I can find out the subject
of each program. If I right arrow one more column, I'm at
the "Free" button, and if I "click" with VO-keys+shift space
bar that episode will start downloading. Or, I can carriage return
to start listening to it on the feed.
When you browse the podcast web page, you can get
individual episodes without subscribing. To subscribe,
go back to your podcasts library; tab back to the Sources
Outline and select Podcasts, then tab to the Songs Outline.
Interact with the Songs Outline, arrow over to the podcast
folder (probably the only item so you'll already be there!),
open it up with VO-keys+backslash. You can use
the contextual menu (VO-keys+shift+m) to Subscribe to
Podcast or to download all episodes (if you're at the top
folder level). If your right arrow to the description fields
you can find out which episode you want to listen to next.
Carriage return to start playing.
This has taken a LOT longer to describe than it actually takes
to do!
Hope this helps,
Esther
