Since last week none of my NPR podcasts have been retrieving anything – any that are being retrieved from NPR.org domain anyway. There’s no indication in their directory about this, nor can I find any commentary on the net anywhere. Am I the only one having this problem? I’m using Doppler Radio 2.0.0.3, but I’ve tried looking at the feeds via a browser and still get an error:
We’re sorry, but there’s been an error delivering this podcast. Please contact podcasts@npr.org for updates and more information.
I did email them but of course havent received a response. I’m just wondering if anyone else besides me is having difficulties? I would assume that a decent number of people subscribe to these podcasts…

I just checked one of the podcasts listed on npr.org and opened it in my webbrowser (IE7). And it opened it without a problem. I also added it to Doppler as a feed and it retrieved it also. You might want to give Doppler 3 beta 1 a try and see if that works for you.
Thanks, Erwin. I love Doppler Radio, but as I’ve mentioned in your forums (I’m dvdmon), I consider conversion to m4b to be a critical feature for me for speeding playback of audio, and in general beta 1 is just too buggy for me to use as a “production” application.
In any case, I tried retrieving some NPR podcasts via a couple of other programs – Happyfish and Primetime Podcast Receiver and ran into the same exact issue. So I am now suspecting that I’m somehow being blocked from receiving these podcasts? Can that be???
