iTunes has stopped updating this podcast

I subscribe to 141 podcasts. I’m a huge fan of both professional and amateur podcasting. Like many of you, iTunes is my podcatcher of choice.

I love the fact that iTunes automatically updates my podcast library with new episodes everyday, but there’s one little thing that drives me nuts.

I’m not sure why it is that every five days iTunes questions whether I would like to stay subscribed to a podcast, but it’s annoying. What’s annoying is that I must manually click on each exclamation point (next to the podcast title) to tell iTunes that, yes, I do indeed still want to receive new episodes.

I am so thankful for Doug Adams and his ingenious Update Expired Podcasts v2.0. The script adds an icon to the top of iTunes. You click it and it updates all “expired” podcasts in one click. Thanks Doug!
