Podcasts prior to April 11 2011

Hi,
I had to format my computer and lost all podcasts prior to April 11, 2011. I had saved podcasts since the begining of 2010 or maybe 2009. Is there a way to retrieve them? I am subscribed to the podacst via itunes and get only from that date.
Thanks,
Tamir

The podcast page (http://www.mrexcel.com/podcast.shtml) refers to 'the Blog'.
The Blog can be found at:
http://www.mrexcel.com/podcast/learnexcelpodcast.html
The podcasts here go back to 2009.
However, on that page you will also find the links (on the right side of the page) to the archives for the earlier dates.
Where it says "Episode nnnn" you can right mouse-click and select "Save As" to download the podcast. I believe that it downloads as a .mp4 file.
If you find a 'bad' link, make a note of the episode number and use it in a search at www.youtube.com (include "mrexcel" in the search).
There are add-ins available to enable you to download from youtube.

Thank you. That's great.
Is there a way to have a link to it so I can get them all in Itunes?

I don't normally use iTunes myself - instead I just save the useful podcasts in a folder and then open by double-clickingthe file.
However, if you download and save your favourite podcasts in a folder somewhere, you can then start iTunes and use File | Add File to Library to navigate and import the podcasts - but you will find them shown under "Films".
There may be a better way to do this but I am not an expert in using iTunes.

Thanks Derek,
I am looking for a method to download a whole lot in one go, automatically rather then selected ones...

I have about 1,073 podcasts.
I have downloaded since the beginning.
I see they have a cd for sale selling 600 of them.
Good thing I kept them all.
