How to "get" that elusive podcast feed?

Post by ChrisGreaves »

When I began to download podcasts about four years ago life was simple; you were shown a link and you pasted into a program.
Nowadays it is all automated and it doesn't work for people with names like "Chris Greaves".

I use Juice as a download vehicle and (so far) it has worked well for me; I click a button and Juice downloads podcasts into a folder which (downloads) I manage myself.

Today I go to a page such as http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/tablero-deportivo/ and I can see the "subscribe to podcast" button; I choose it and can see the "Juice" choice, but when I choose "Juice" (whether I have a copy open or note) Firefox tells me "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (podcast) isn't associated with any program.".

Rats!

Q1: How can I extract a simple URL from this hoo-hah so that I can copy/paste the url into Juice and get on with (my miserable) life?

Q2: Failing that, what are you using that is simple and works without convolutions or conniptions?

And I have now abandoned Juice and switched to Hermes Podcast DownloaderThe one thing lacking is that it d/l all files to a common folder, rather than spraying each podcast into its separate folder.
I can live with that.
Its outstanding feature, IMHO, is that I can give it what I think is the web page with the feed, and Hermes wanders off and turns over every flat rock until it finds the actual URL required.
