Subscribe to Zero Hour!

I just noticed on the WMSE site that you are able to subscribe to our shows, including Zero Hour, in iTunes. I think this is new, and the station calls it "highly, highly experimental." It's worth checking out. Here are the directions:
"You will need to input the RSS address manually. In iTunes, this is done in the 'Advanced' menu and select 'Subscribe to Podcast'. In the resulting window, paste the following URL:
http://wmse.org/archive/rss.php?dow=Fri&hour=120
Good luck. We hope to make this 'official' functionality soon."

Let me know how it works!
