Hello!

We've just added the new Yahoo! badge thingy to our web site, due to the recent mention on Podcast 411 (thank you Rob, very cool!)

However, in doing so I noticed our RSS feed (and therefore also the "subscribe" link) is incorrect in our podcast listing on Yahoo... I've searched high and low and cannot find any info on how to correct a broken link in a podcast listing.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions, advice, etc...

Cheers,
~whore

Alas, dear whore, I fear you will be searching high and low for a long time looking for some way to control your Yahoo! feed information.

Ever since the beginning of podcasts.yahoo.com, there has been not only no way to control your feed, but also no reliable way to even give feedback to the Yahoo! team. No feedback button, no "contact us" link, no form mail for bugs, nothing.

The Yahoo! Podcasts directory is one of my major sources of irritation in the podcasting world, and I've just completely given up on them. They have our podcast listed twice, and one of the listings is already a month out of date.

The subscribe button on our Yahoo! Podcast site points to some yahoo address for some unfathomable reason. At least the RSS feed is displayed correctly. Unfortunately, if someone tries to subscribe via the button, we're screwed.

Check it out! Our Yahoo page (http://podcasts.yahoo.com/series?c=r&s=e6fe6e092b04217b69d491824d9f0f90&fr=024372b6557bf3cb5643c902f71a609a&u=)

I hate Yahoo! :x
