How do I figure out my iTunes Podcast URL?

Original post

On the iTunes podcast subscription page:

As an example, here is the iTunes Podcast URL for my wordpodcast iTunes Store:

You can click on that link to get to the wordpodcast iTunes Store Invitation page.



If you click on the button "iTunes" in the middle of the image, you do invoke a URL that's fed to your Web browser, but if you have iTunes installed, it's already tweaked your browser to hand that URL to the iTunes program itself. This all happens in under a second, and the end result is that you click on the link in your email and the next thing you see is iTunes showing the page about your podcast:
