It appears that the feeds on this site haven’t been updating correctly due to a recent change in the content managament system we run on, WordPress.

Listeners have been reporting feeds not updating and the iTunes listings being blank. I’ve fixed what I believe to be the problem so we’ll see if that solves it. If you notice any other problems or see that this one is continuing, please send an email to mail at bitwire dot tv.

Thanks for your help and patience as we work through this.
