   I have numerous podcast feeds.

   e.g.
   http://www.MyWebSite.com/feed/?post-type=audio&person=john
   http://www.MyWebSite.com/feed/?post-type=audio&person=joe

   http://www.MyWebSite.com/feed/?post-type=video&person=john
   http://www.MyWebSite.com/feed/?post-type=video&person=joe

   etc.

   Is it possible to somehow setup a fake url?

   e.g.
   http://www.MyWebSite.com/podcasts/john-videos
   http://www.MyWebSite.com/podcasts/john-audio

   Which then redirects and/or "hiddes" the ugly urls above?

   I have tried understanding the .htaacces in this regard and could not figure out how to do it...

   e.g. I tried

   RewriteRule ^podcasts/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /feed/?post-type=video&person=$1 [NC,L]

   The way that I can see it working is to use this as the regular expression:

   RewriteRule ^podcasts/([a-zA-Z0-9]*)-(audio|video)$ /feed/?post-type=$2&person=$1

   I haven't tried this, but I've checked the regular expression that that matches what you are looking for.

   If I'm right, all you would need to do is call ta URL like:

   http://www.mysite.com/podcasts/john/video

   I found out this is not possible. Decided to use tinyURL.
