How do I edit my podcast feed?

There is no editing involved (at least not directly).  The podcast feed is updated when a sermon is added, edited, or deleted from the sermon archive.  Also note that only the sermons that have an audio file compatible (mp3 format) will be included in the podcast feed.  This means that not all the sermons in your archive will be included in the feed, only the sermons with a mp3 audio file attached to it.
