Podcast tech tip for resetting android radio connections

If you have an android car stereo for BT streaming (and who doesn’t these days) and are having problems playing certain podcast episodes, here a solution.

The title of the podcast episode may have a special character (like a ‰x) or be too long. This will cause the display to crash, and that may freeze or reset the whole device.

I’ve also had trouble with long podcast descriptions with special characters in the rss feed crashing devices and podcast players.

The less you put in the title and feed, the better your feed will perform in this buggy software world.

This took me quite some time to figure out. I even had to listen to a horrible podcast. on the subject to figure it out.

Is there nothing the climate change hoaxers won’t link to their cause or religion?

For those of us binge-watching TV shows, installing new smartphone apps or sharing family photos on social media over the holidays, it may seem like an abstract predicament.

Not exactly safe for the Vicar of Christ to wander among the masses, but that’s the kind of Pope he wants to be.

The new movie The Two Popes is worth watching, clearly an approved, sympathetic movie to the changeover from Benedict to Francis (or was it?)

It was beautifully filmed and positive Pope propaganda.

Pope testy here too.
