After I removed the original podcast from iTunes and dragged the modified (per your instructions) file into iTunes, it initially showed the modified podcast title in iTunes but then changed it to the title specified by the feed author, which I don't want. It changes the title within split second, as it is fetching the list of episodes for the new feed. I'm not crazy about the podcast-rename.appspot.com method because it essentually funnels the feed through podcast-rename.appspot.com. If it ever goes down (as free web pages frequently do), then my feeds will go down. @twitter-309150350:disqus , your method doesn’t work for me.

I found this article while I was trying to figure out the problem myself. I tried the above fix and while brilliant, it unfortunately didn't work for the particular feed I was accessing (password protected). However,I figured out a more permanent solution to this problem... From iTunes, drag the podcast out of iTunes and onto your desktop. By this I mean the title of the specific podcast feed you want to rename, NOT the individual audio file.It should create a little .pcast shortcut on your desktop. That's a little xml file that you can edit. Right click on the file you just created and choose "Open with..." and find TextEdit. Once the file is open in TextEdit, find the title tag. It looks like this:     Change the title of the podcast within those two title tags. Save the file. Remove your original Podcast feed from iTunes, then drag this one in.  You're done! :) Hello there.
