We just posted our eleventh episode of Keeping up with the Joneses yesterday morning. We have tremendous fun recording it each week and love the kind feedback we receive, especially as it's something new we're trying and have no experience in making podcasts. We were excited to find ourselves on the iTunes New & Noteworthy list within the first few weeks of launching and then staggered to find we had 1,000 subscribers to the podcast in only 10 weeks. We're having fun playing with ideas about how to make the podcast even more betterer but for now, there's one small request we're asking those of you subscribed via iTunes to do: UNSUBSCRIBE.
That's right, we'd love you to unsubscribe from Keeping Up with The Joneses and then immediately RE-SUBSCRIBE. (If you subscribed to our podcast after July 21st, 2014 you don't need to go through this palaver).
Why the unsubscribe / re-subscribe shuffle? Well remember the whole we "have no experience in making podcasts" line from earlier? File it under that (the short answer). The longer answer is the combination of software and web services we use to host and syndicate the show has been upgraded and with it the need for us to ask listeners to refresh their subscription. We wish there was a more elegant way to achieve this goal, but unfortunately this is the cost of our inexperience!
If you already know how to do that, go forth and unsubscribe and re-subscribe, no need to read on. If you need help, here's how to do it:
Step 1: Launch iTunes and go to your podcasts.
Step 2: If you are using a Mac, hold down the CONTROL key on your keyboard and click (on a PC, right click) on "Keeping Up with The Joneses" in the left hand column to bring up the menu pictured above. Then click on Unsubscribe Podcast.
Step 3: Hold down CONTROL on your keyboard and click once again on "Keeping Up with The Joneses" (or if you are on a PC right click). This time click on Delete.
Step 4: You may be asked if you are sure you want to delete the podcast. Confirm you do, by clicking on the Delete button.
Step 5: You will be asked if you want to delete the old podcast episodes or not. It's entirely up to you, but if you move the files to the trash, you can always re-download the episodes after you subscribe in the next step.
Step 6: To resubscribe to the new feed in iTunes, click on the image above (or click here) and once the above page has loaded in iTunes, click the Subscribe button under the Keeping Up with The Joneses artwork.
Step 7: If iTunes asks you to confirm your subscription, click the Subscribe button and you're done!
Our sincere apologies for the hassle. Thanks for being on this journey with us. If you need help, contact us.
