I'm trying to add the following podcast feed to my Drupal aggregator:
http://poempresent.uchicago.edu/poempresent_audio.rss

When I look at it, it's got 29 items listed. When I put it into iPodder and check the feed, I get 29 files downloaded. When I put it into the Drupal aggregator, though, it only gives me two items: the first one and the last one. Why only two? Why only those? Is this a problem with the feed or the aggregator? I don't get any watchdog messages or other errors.

I believe the aggregator decides whether to update an existing item or insert a new item based on the guid element, or if that is missing the link element.

Your items don't have a guid element and all link to the same place. You might want to change your links to something like http://poempresent.uchicago.edu/#Poetry%20Reading%20by%20Michael%20Fried so that the aggregator knows they're different items.

Wow, that makes perfect sense. I only wish that I could change the links like you suggest, but I don't publish the feed. That completely explains it, though, thanks very much.
