Assuming you have better things to do than manually generate your own RSS feed (or write and maintain integrated WordPress plugins to do same) then this means using an existing WordPress plugin. The one I&#8217;m using is the best I found. (Read: Simplest to enable and roll out on an existing site. Most plugins seem to be written with the assumption that your blog BRAND NEW and ONLY for the podcast and thus everything should be added to the RSS feed.) But this one comes with its own player and problems and frustrations. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway. If you&#8217;re a Google Play user then please let me know if it works like it should. If you have any advice for adding the show to iTunes without needing to install stupid iTunes on my PC, I&#8217;d love to hear it. If not, then it sounds like Mumbles can take care of it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m asking this on the show because I don&#8217;t use RSS, I don&#8217;t listen to podcasts, I don&#8217;t use Google Play, and I don&#8217;t do very much with mobile devices, so there&#8217;s no way I&#8217;ll know if I&#8217;ve gotten it wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7:55: Star Trek Beyond<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Twitter fit I threw last year when the first trailer came out, along with the trailer in question:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Okay, which one of you swaggering Gorn-faced morons asked Hollywood to turn Trek into Fast and the Furious in space?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/POWqQC5XCS\">https:\/\/t.co\/POWqQC5XCS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Shamus Young (@shamusyoung) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shamusyoung\/status\/676491555369312256\">December 14, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>But like I said in some follow-up tweets, I&#8217;ve long since made peace with the fact that Trek movies are just action films now.
