In this episode I talk about a couple of nightmares I've run across including:
My RSS feed in iTunes somehow got changed to http://s (podpress maybe? I'm not sure...). I had to change my RSS feed in iTunes
To change this you need to (accorsing to Apple's Forums):
Podcasters occasionally need to move their feed from one
location to another. In this case, you should not remove your feed.
If possible, you should set your web server to return a 301 error
and redirect when receiving a request for the old feed. Doing so
will cause both the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes clients that
have subscribed to your podcast to pick up the new feed URL. Be
sure to maintain the redirect for at least two weeks to ensure that
most subscribers have attempted to download your most recent
episode and have thereby received the new URL.
If you don’t know how to return an HTTP 301, you can use the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag described in the iTunes RSS Tags section below. The tag will cause the iTunes music store to be updated with the new feed URL, but it will not inform iTunes clients of the new location. You may choose to include an audio note in your podcast, informing your subscribers that your podcast has changed locations. After adding the tag, be sure to keep your feed running at the old URL for at least 48 hours.
Then later I did a somewhat time sensitive announcement only to have feedburner fail to update my feed.
Lesson Learned: Never fail to occasionally go back and experience your podcast through the eyes (and mouse) of a new subscriber. Double check your feed(s).

Now the couple is left scrambling to find another location for their October wedding. "All my family's from Phoenix and his family's from Nebraska," Vong explained. "A lot have already booked airfare, hotel, everything," Groetsch chimed in. "That's why it's not like we change change our wedding day."
Groetsch and Vong are looking for a new wedding hall, but are sticking to the louis vuitton shoes wedding date of October 10; which will be 10-10-2010.
There may be other couples affected by the closure of the Arts District Banquet Hall, who simply don't know about the bankruptcy.
CBS 11 News contacted the people who run the Crow Collection and they wanted it made clear that the weddings scheduled at The Collection are not affected. The doors have only closed on the banquet hall located in the Trammel Crow Tower.
