how to convert itunes podcast link to rss feed

There's a way to subscribe to podcasts without having to install iTunes on your PC or Mac. But, some podcasts only provide an iTunes link for subscribing to their podcast. Very inconvenient to have to go into iTunes to find the "Copy Podcast URL" menu item on a right-click. Here's several ways to get the actual RSS feed for a podcast via web apps:

iTunes Podcast URL Extractor http://snipplr.com/view/52465.64822/ for the self-install PHP code

iTunes feed extractor - self-install Python code

active Christian music podcasts

Podcasting trumps terrestrial radio for audio distribution worldwide. It's happening in a few places in the podcast world. Here's the few I could find, that are currently active:

http://boredagainchristian.com The Bored Again Christian podcast

http://www.jtindie.com JT's Indie Christian Music Podcast

http://www.newreleasetuesday.com/wordpress/ New Christian Music Podcast from New Release Tuesday

http://buildthechurch.blogspot.com Build the Church podcast

By the way, what counts as a podcast? It could be audio and/or video episodes, and it should have a Podcast feed or RSS feed, so that iTunes or a "podcast catcher" would automatically download new podcast episodes when subscribed to. 

Posting an audio file on a web page for play on-demand is erroneously called a podcast by some people. Don't be one of those people.
