Select "Podcasts" in your Sources Table 2. Navigate to the File menu on your menu bar (VO-keys+M; press "F") 3. Navigate to the Library submenu (arrow down; press "L"; arrow right) 4. Navigate to the "Export Playlist" option (quickest way is to arrow up once) and press return 5. A save dialogue window will pop up prompting you to supply a file name, location, and format. VO-right arrow to the format popup button and set this to "OPML". The default name will be Podcasts.opml, and the default location will be you Documents folder. Change these as you prefer, then press return (or VO-right arrow to the Save button and press it with VO-space). 6. You can send this OPML file to a friend, and he can import it in iTunes to get the subscription addresses of all your podcast subscriptions, or you can open this in TextEdit and find, for example: <outline text="VoiceOver Getting Started for Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://www.apple.com/podcasts/voiceover-leopard/voiceover_leopard.xml " htmlUrl="http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/"; /> which tells you that the RSS feed for the VoiceOver getting started in Leopard podcasts is: http://www.apple.com/podcasts/voiceover-leopard/voiceover_leopard.xml and that the assocated web page is: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/ Or, as another example: <outline text="The Assistive Technology Show" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://feeds.feedburner.com/atshow " /> This is Steve's Assistive Technology Show that did the roundtable discussion last week. There's no web page given (for the iTunes Store podcast page), but the RSS feed is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/atshow Hope this helps. Cheers, Esther
