Over time Escape Pod has evolved from "Stories with a bit of Steve Ely chat before and after" to separate files for stories, reviews, written stuff (soundproof), interviews, interesting tit-bits, etc.
Not everyone wants to listen to everything and it seems to me that the Categories used to generate the RSS feeds could be usefully revised and revamped to make selection a little easier.
It would be nice to be able to simply select Audio only or Stories only - which are probably the largest audience segments. The Podcasts category comes close but for some reason it includes the Soundproof e-book releases.
Some of the categories seem to be nested ('Family friendly' includes 'for kids'), but not all of them - (pg-13 does not include PG.)
Is it just me or would anyone else be interested in a single feed that included say just stories and important announcements?

Dunno if this answers your question: http://forum.escapeartists.net/index.php?topic=4968.0

Hey - sorry for the late reply - been away...
I want to download *Audio only* and *None of the text* - (no soundproof, ebooks, e-pub,pdfs interviews etc cause they don't play on my device). I know I'm not alone in wanting this.
There should be an easy way to do this - surely? (Hint - an 'Audio' category - what could be easier?)
To get stories only I can subscribe to the five rating categories (Rated G, rated pg-13, rated pg, rated r, rated x) - and then add another 5 for Podcastle .
That's a hassle but do-able.
But if I want to participate in the Escape artists community and hear the announcements, interviews and other stuff there is no category I can choose that does not include written files. These get downloaded and transferred to my device, and sit there clogging up space etc until i delete them manually.
Please Mur, Ben, Alisdair, Add an "Audio" tag to the list and make your jogging, driving, commuting, non-reading subscribers happy!
