Audible.com Podcasts won't play on AppleTV

I just got an AppleTV
It's syncing all my stuff but my Your Mac Life Audible.com podcast got rejected. It says AppleTV won't play that file type.
bummer.

I can understand that. The

I can understand that. The Audible file is in a format created by Audible. I bet you'll have to email them and ask if they will either make the format compatible with the AppleTV or whether they'll bug Apple to make it compatible. Sorry.--

DRM headache #1,225,589

Interestingly enough, I think the reason why Audible intergrates so well with the iTunes desktop client is because Audible and Apple DRM are based on the same format? (AAC) Is that right? Just flip a bit.
My guess is that the reason why Audible's a no go is something like:
1. "Who wants to listen to audiobooks on their tv? That's on v.1.x update list. Next? OK, Video Podcasters. Nigel, you had some good ideas on how to help them into the living room?"
2. Somebody wants somebody to pay too much for something.

Here's to the former.
