Notes on your Podcast settings
Since The Writer's Almanac is a daily podcast, you might want to make note of what time your podcasting software checks for new episodes. Our podcast is updated no later than 2 am Central Time.

Saturday's update will also have information for downloading the episodes for the following Sunday. Make sure you're keeping at least two episodes to ensure you'll have the weekend's files.
