iTunes - the day podcasting died

This computer is not authorized to play this copy of "iTunes New Music Tuesday June 28, 2005".

• I still havent figured out how to play a podcast without that authorization message.
• i cant register my podcast becuase it asks for credit card details (i dont have a credit card becuase i always get refused).
• Everything is american.
• i havent even heard of any of the podcasts listed except adam and dawn and drew.
• so if someone wants to listen to my show using itunes they will have to give their credit card details in.
• i dont understand the navigation
• Wheres madge? i type her in and nothing appears
• why does everything seem like it is a load of american commercial radio stations who just podcast their existing shows?
• The 'top 100 podcasts' lists only one show called 'Quirks and Quarks from CBC Radio'. it has a show about crickets having sex which i cant hear becuase i am not authorised. anyhow, if i wanted to listen to crickets having sex i would go outside.
• All the shows are not named properly, they all have KCRW,WAQXFM,CBC,NECC, ESPN, ABC, WGBH and things infront of them. I do not know what these mean.

Summery :

what an unpleasant experience for new users to podcasting. I'm giving up podcasting and just blog from now on if this gets any worse. I'm never going to be able to afford the money to even get authorised, let alone get glossy photos and graphics. Millions of poeple are now going to get podcasting through this and all the proper shows wont even be on there. instead they'll be listening to ISBN crickets making love in america.
