FYI, the chat log link and audio recordings are incorrect for Blogging with Students. Chat log points to a February show and the audio recording link is broken.

I discovered this while trying to update my "podcast" feed to the Classroom 2.0 LIVE audio at http://delicious.com/bcampbell/classroom20live+podfeed so I can subscribe to the audio archives in iTunes. Is there an "offical" RSS feed to these audio archives?
The RSS feed for the blog does not seem to include the audio as attachments so I can't use that as a podcast feed. Any chance of including them as attachments?

By the way, I neglected earlier to say thank you for posting the archives to everything else!

Hi Bill! Thanks for the feedback about the archive links. I fixed the audio link so let me know if you still have problems accessing the recording. You can access the feed link by clicking on the RSS feed button above or using the link: http://live.classroom20.com/1/feed. The feed will bring in all of the links and recordings to your reader with some readers, such as Newswire or Google Reader, providing the option of downloading the recordings directly from the feed. Peggy uses Newswire and is able to download the recordings directly to iTunes and I use Google Reader.

Again,thanks for taking time to let us know there was a problem with the links. We are so pleased that you visited our archive page to access the show recordings and links shared during the show!

Take care,
Kim Caise
