Haven’t been able to download an episode for over a week. It keeps saying the episode is temporarily unavailable.

I have no idea how you came into my mind today, but I remembered how much I appreciated your insight on tv years back.
I live in Brooklyn NY & found that you are still going strong but further away. Things these days are upside down & regressing. I just want you to know that I am happy to be able to hear you once again on your podcast! The best to you & yours. You are definitely one of the few good guys left!!! Take pride.
