Rantings of an IT Pirate

As a pirate is passionate about the open sea, such is my passion about technology. I am the first "ethical" IT Pirate.

Weird way for Podcasts to work in Zune software

I posted earlier today that the MarketPlace is available for Canadians in the Zune software.  We are still unable to purchase Zune points without a convoluted workaround but since the MarketPlace is available, we can access PodCasts.

One in particular that I like, is TechNet Edge.

As you can see, the Podcasts are configured to be on local storage like the songs.  Yet if we inspect the storage location...

nothing there...

Yet, I have these Podcasts accessible both in my Zune software that I can watch, and I even synchronized them on my Zune player.

I can launch a Podcast and view it just fine from within the software...

I can even view it on my Zune...

Yet, for some reason, I cannot view the files...  Strange indeed!
