    Yes, both working for me. I have a tiny Kelvin in the corner of my iTunes window.

    Both audio and video download to my iTunes and the audio downloads/works well on my somewhat ancient 20G iPod.

    Podcasts downloaded and played on the laptop without any problems. Have not tried them on an iPod though.

    Currently the iTunes Store will not let me subscribe to any of the three podcasts listed. Is it limited to Scotland or the UK?

    David, they are not limited to Scotland or the UK.

    There are also only two podcast streams.

    Specifically, they can be found here and here.

    Anyone else having trouble? Or anyone else from outside the UK able to confirm a subscription?

    I can see three video podcasts;
    Interview with Gene Robinson
    Sermon 10 July
    Sermon Gene Robinson

    and three audio podcasts;
    Sermon 1 July
    Sermon 6 July
    Sermon 27 July

    None will let me subscribe. Is it perhaps limited to the UK iTunes Store? I am hooked to the USA Store usually, because I have purchased things for years with a USA bankcard.

    Ok, I tracked down the problem. Podcasts were disabled under the Parental Controls in the Preferences. My computer illiterate parents must have snuck into town and down that!

  • Whither Mission?

    It is the long-standing tradition of the Scottish Episcopal Church to dedicate its prayer on St Andrew’s Day to one particular thing. As it happens, it isn’t praying for Scotland though no doubt people have done that on this day for quite a while too. I know this will come as a bit of a…

  • Dedication Sunday Sermon – Responding to Antisemitism

    In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Religion changes over time. How to run a congregation changes over time. The things that you need to do change over time. As I flicked through the readings for this morning, I found myself thinking first about Jacob dreaming…

    Scottish Opera has chosen to begin its season of main stage operas this year with a revival – the production of Director Matthew Richardson’s Rigoletto which was first seen in 2011. If anything the passage of time makes both the opera itself and this particular production all the more relevant. This is a piece that…

  • Can the Epi Scopal Church speak of the love of God?

      In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Identity matters. It always has of course but these days it seems to matter a huge amount. And one of the most difficult things for Scottish Episcopalians is to explain to others who we are. The name doesn’t…
