Podcasts
It was high time the little plastic people of the world had their own podcast and that's how the AddictedToPlastic.com podcasts came to be.
Our podcasts discuss all the latest news for Blythe, Dal, Moof and Lati dolls, as well as gossip, interviews and tips. You'll find a step-by-step guide to downloading the episodes below.
We also love feedback, so if you would like to let us know what you think about anything discussed in the series, please email us at podcast@addictedtoplastic.com.
Listening and subscribing via iTunes: Quick Method
To begin with, the first thing you'll need to do is download iTunes (if you don't already have it), and you can do that right here. It's available for both Windows and OS X.
All you have to do then is click this link here and iTunes should automatically launch and take you straight to the podcast series in the Music Store! Easy.
At the top of the screen next to the ATP logo/picture, you should see a 'Subscribe' button, and you simply click this to do so. A message may then come up saying 'Are you sure you want to subscribe to the ATP Blythe Doll Podcast Series?' and of course you click 'Subscribe', then you're done!
Listening and subscribing via iTunes: Search Method
If the Quick Method above doesn't work for you then you can try this instead:
Once you've downloaded and installed iTunes, open it up, and on the left-hand side of the program there's a 'Source' column which lists: 'Library', 'Podcasts', 'Videos', 'Party Shuffle', 'Radio', etc.
Surprise, surprise, click on 'Podcasts' and the right-hand side will change to show all the podcasts you have and/or are subscribed to (which will be none at the moment if you've just downloaded iTunes).
Just at the bottom-left of this right-hand side you should see a 'Podcast Directory' button/link. Click this and wait while iTunes 'Accesses the Music Store' (don't worry, you don't have to pay for this!).
iTunes should then load up the Podcasts directory homepage, and about half way down on the left-hand side you should see a little search field and 'search all podcasts' just below it. In the search field, type 'blythe' or 'blythe doll' and hit Enter or click on the search button. iTunes will again 'Access the Music Store' and find all the matches.
At the top, in the first row of the searches you should see our 'ATP Blythe Doll Podcast Series' and on the far right you should see a 'Subscribe' button. Click this and a message will come up saying 'Are you sure you want to subscribe to the ATP Blythe Doll Podcast Series?' and of course you click 'Subscribe'!
iTunes will then subscribe you to our series and will download the first episode for you, and once downloaded, simply double-click on the episode to play it! Viola!
Note: I'm actually using iTunes for the Mac, so the PC version might be slightly different, but they should be similar enough for you to be able to follow those instructions (I hope! ).
Manually checking for new episodes
If you're already subscribed to the podcast, you can manually check for a new episode by going to the Podcasts section in iTunes (don't go as far as the Podcast Directory in the music store, just go to the list of podcasts which you're subscribed to/are on your hard drive) and right-click on the 'ATP Blythe Doll Podcast Series' and then select 'Update Podcast'. That should hopefully update and display any new episodes (if there are any), ready to 'Get' and download.
