Getting a paid podcast onto Windows Phone 8

2

I subscribe to a podcast that I pay for, and I am given a personalized URL which I originally plugged into the Zune software and it worked great. Now I have WP8, and I am trying to get the podcast into this new system. Problem is, there is no apparent way to put the URL in so that it syncs with the source.

Is there a way that I am unaware of?

The URL looks like this:

http://www.medvedmedhead.com/category/radio-show/podcast/?feedkey=06fa40094e5d0563dcc862ecxxxxxxxx

There is no way to insert the URL into the store. Putting it into IE only gets me the Xml. Apparently I can use iTunes to download the podcast. I might be able to sneak it onto the phone through iTunes. I am checking on this.

More information about the url is required. Have you asked the product of the podcast? There is nothing special about Zune that would prevent you from either using podcasting software on phone itself to download it instead. Please clarify what you did earlier, you make it sound, like you had a WP7 phone. – Ramhound – 2013-11-08T04:32:25.403

I usually have Zune download it on the PC and then sync that with the phone. Right click on the Podcast in Zune and select Series Settings.

Yes, that is how I did for WP7. Zune does not interact with WP8. That's my problem. – Cyberherbalist – 2013-11-08T04:58:13.807

Wasn't aware WP8 and Zune weren't paired like WP7 and Zune are. Seems WP8 has new sync software and it is a regression (lots of complaints around the web). – Brian – 2013-11-08T05:10:15.910
