Podcast limit of 10?

My church uses SermonAudio to host all their sermons and I was trying to use the podcast feature on iTunes  to download an audio series, The 1689 London Baptist Confession. However,  Sermon Audio  only sends the 10 most recent podcasts instead of the +104 available.

More fun features with Podcast

I also wanted to be able to use all the new iTunes/iPod features for a Podcast instead of breaking them up into a bunch of individual mp3 files in my Music folder or grouped as a Playlist, which makes it hard to keep track of where I am and what I have listened too.

• remember playback position - press pause and go play something else or turn off the ipod. The next time you play that podcast it will resume where you left off
• blue bullet - a full,  half filled , or absent blue bullet lets you keep track of what you have listened too
• play speed - 1/2X, 1X, or 2x - accelerate you learning by listening at 2x the normal speed.
• 30 sec -  skip back 30 second for the moments when you were daydreaming an just missed what was said (tap the screen to get this option)
• scrubbing - zoom forward and back through a large audio file as varying speeds (tap the screen to get this option)
• email - send podcast link via email (tap the screen to get this option)

Create your own podcast

In the end I manually downloaded all the audio files in the series and created my own podcast stream using a WordPress Plugin called SermonBrowser. Then I had to edit the podcast.php file and  change the value in line 129 from 15 to 104 …($mp3count > 104) to increase the max podcast size. Now I can add all 104 files to my itunes podcast.
