Downloading Older Podcasts Using iTunes

Open up iTunes and click on "Podcasts" in the left-hand pane - it
should be the first item after "Library". If you can't find the
"Podcasts" item you almost certainly need to update your iTunes to the
latest version.

Now you will either see the colourful podcast directory or a list of
podcasts you have already subscribed to. In the latter case you need to
click on "Podcast Directory" towards the bottom left of the right-hand
pane. On the left of the right-hand pane you'll now find a search box
above the words "Search All Podcasts". Using this box, type in "Really
Learn Spanish" and hit [enter]/[return].

You'll now get two entries for "Really Learn Spanish" - one I believe
is a mirror of sorts which does not appear to update and you'll want to
avoid subscribing to it. The good one is the one that has
"johan.vanrooyen@gmail.com" as the artist. Just click on the
"Subscribe" button and you'll be taken to your subscriptions page or
whatever it's called. The most recent podcast - currently no. 5 - will
start downloading automatically. You can download the others by
clicking on the "Get" button next to each individual podcast.

In order to have easy access to podcasts on your iPod you first need to
update your software and then go Settings>Main

Update on the Current Delay

For anyone who might miss my comment attached to the previous post, here's the text again:"Thanks everyone for your kind support! I must apologise for having been so quiet for so long. Unfortunately I have been very busy with a number of things which could not wait and, even now, I have just completed 'phase one' of redecorating our kitchen. Over the next few weeks I hope to get it together so that another podcast emerges even though, at the moment, I have to fight a path through the rubble and building materials to even get to my Mac and I only have a very vague idea of where the mixer and the mic might be."

What others are saying about Really Learn Spanish...

Initial response has been very positive. Adam Curry featured the first podcast on his Daily Source Code of 16 November 2004 and again the next day. Nick Starr
whose Mini Source Code gives us his own daily take on Adam's show (a
great summary when you don't have time for the whole thing) also had good things to say. Jim Corbett wrote about it on Eirepreneur and has been very helpful with emailed suggestions and advice. Tyme made some detailed comments on her blog - she's got the right attitude and is going to be a good student. Drew, from The Dawn and Drew Show, is enthusiastic because he wants to revive his dormant Spanish. Both Dawn and Drew think Really Learn Spanish is awesome! Craig Patchett wrote me and pointed out that if you know Spanish pronunciation you'll have no trouble at all in pronouncing Hawaiian!
Nicole Simon finds the way Spanish differs from English fascinating.
