I want my podcasts...just not in iTunes

Here's the situation:  I have all but stopped using iTunes as my podcast aggregator (instead, I simply use Google Reader).  However, several podcasts seem to "only" exist in iTunes-world...meaning, there is no visible (cut-and-pasteable) podcast feed.  Rather, the only option seems to be iTunes' "http://phobos.apple.com/blablabla."

The "iTunes Podcast" feed url for some feeds is easy to change (itpc:// --> http:// and voila), but is there a way to suss-out a feed from the Phobos url?

If you're wondering, I am investigating this because Fabric London just launched a podcast and it seems to exist only as (in my view) the dreaded Phobos.

Here you go: http://feeds.fabriclondon.com/fabricpodcast

Getting the URL is a bit of a pain but doable. You have to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, then click the little "i" button to the right of the podcast's description. The feed URL will be in the window that pops up. But get this: you can't copy and paste it, and the window disappears if you switch to another program. So writing it down is a bit of a pain.

Silly Apple-hating iconoclasts....

If you subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, you can then click the info icon next to the podcast and see the feed URL. It's not copyable (which is annoying), but you can write it down and run off to your Google Reader.
