I am a premium subscriber but just subscribed to the podcast feed today. Only 14 episodes are showing up available for download in iTunes and they all say (fix) next to them. No pdfs are showing up. I want to download the same lessons I have on the website which are Sinica, short stories, and advanced. Thanks!
@greenbocai,
I'll take a look and send you an email shortly.
[UPDATE: somewhat long and somewhat complicated issue, but the short version is that subscribers who download MP3 and PDF files are now downloading them directly from our server so we can configure them on-the-fly into traditional/simplified and include or omit english/pinyin, etc. based on people's customizable display settings.
It turns out that iTunes was having difficulty identifying the links to some of these mp3 and pdf files as valid, even though they were valid. I've made some tweaks that seem to keep iTunes happy.
If anyone else is having this problem, you should be able to solve it by just refreshing the feed in iTunes]
Thanks,

Hello.I just subscribed to this site. I’ve been trying various methods to try and improve my Chinese, and from the looks of it this could be winner. I’m looking forward to the podcasts, but I’m having the same problem as the OP. The iTunes links don’t work at all. Any ideas on the problem/solution?PS: I think it’s very appropriate that the first lesson is drinking games! In fact, when I first arrived in China I learned numbers by playing 十五二十! Much more useful than memorizing them from a textbook!
