Hi, just wanted to let you know that this episode isn’t showing up in iTunes, as far as I can tell. ????
Thanks, Kim. I just discovered the problem.
I have either missed something or you want us to guess. Which episode is this discussed on? The direct link isn’t working. Could you give me the episode number and title?
