What is a PhogCast?

Imagine quality KU sports radio, by fans, for fans, that doesn’t have commercials and can be taken with you wherever you go. Sort of like a concentrated Jayhawk boullion cube in the broad interest, lame brain watery soup of mainstream broadcast sports radio, dig?

Alternatively, you can subscribe to the PhogCasts using a program like Ipodder or Itunes, and listen when you get the time on your personal media device of choice.

I love checking out your blog and was really excited to see that there was a Podcast dedicated to KU Sports. However, I could not locate the phogcast on itues. I searched under the podcasts for “phog,” “kansas,” “ku,” “jayhawk,” etc and nothing came up.
Help!

We’re not yet in Itunes’ indexes. It’s a project for this coming week, but I think it’s mainly just a waiting game until they pick the feed up. They appear to be making some changes to their system at present because they’ve been having some outages.
Keep looking, but in the meantime, you can just use PB’s RSS Feed to keep track of what’s going on and manually download the PhogCasts.
