New way to access Jubilee Centre podcasts
Jonathan Tame, April 2013
Price: £0.00
Unfortunately the media company which was uploading our podcasts to iTunes is no longer working with audio files. As a result there are currently two Jubilee Centre accounts in iTunes, and all podcasts up to the end of 2011 are on the old account, which is accessible here:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jubilee-centre/id319798824
Until we have resolved this problem, please access all pre-2012 podcasts directly by using the above link, as the buttons on the individual resource pages will send you to the new Jubilee Centre account, which only has the most recent podcasts.
We apologise for this inconvenience, and hope you can still find the recording you are looking for!
