When I look at your Podcaast in iTunes, it shows the Category of Christianity. However, our CCV Singles Podcast shows Religion & Spirituality. How did you get yous to show Christianity? Here is a subset of the podcast.xml file that is generated by JBS:
<category>Religion &amp; Spirituality</category>
<itunes:category text="Religion &amp; Spirituality">
<itunes:category text="Christianity" />
</itunes:category>

Also, when I subscribe to our podcast, I see the date and time added to the beginning of the Title and Description. How can this be turned off in the auto generated xml file so it doesn't show? Here's an example:
04 Fri, 02 Nov 2001 00:00:00 -0800 - Title...

Hi Bill,

The part about the iTunes category is hard coded into the routine that writes the xml file. It seems odd that yours wouldn't be listed in iTunes in the same way as our church's since that code is in every JBS generated xml file including ours!

I know that had one of the early iTunes podcasts so perhaps they manually put that in for mine and just ignore what's put into the xml?

Do you see other podcasts under the Christianity label? Maybe this is something Apple does...

On the second question - there is a drop down in the podcast edit window for the type of title you want. You can also create a custom one based on the codes used in other places in the component like {studytitle} etc. See the Template edit for details on those codes and I think they are also on the jbs documentation site www.joomlabiblestudy.org/jbsdocs.

So you could have in the custom field Our Podcast episode entitled {studytitle} and some more text and codes.

I do you see other podcasts with the the Christianity label? I'll check with Apple about this.

Thanks for pointing out about the drop down in the podcast edit window for the type of title, I completely overlooked that simple fix.
