Edit titles for better sorting

Podcast titles edit: remove "Tech Nation," the word "Episode," and air date from titles so each is just ep number and title/guest. Use subtitle line for airdate.

Tap dancing Recital

Dr. Suleyman sure seems to do a lot of tap dancing around hard definitions. Everything he says May be spot on but it’s his bag. Who cares? In the long fun we’re all dead.

A Review of "TechNation Radio Podcast"

I had heard what I had believed to had been certain parts of what I had believed to had been this "TechNation Radio Podcast" involving what could be perceived as ones having had vulgar or profane language being censored or obscured and one having had language that could offend at least one living being of a certain name due to its context of that name and at least one living being not of that name who might or might not had known at least one living being of that name.
