I’m wondering if you know that iTunes will allow you to follow the podcast, but it gets an error during the download attempt.
The MP3 link will let you download the file. I was unable to download it from the iTunes app on the iPhone. I will look into the issue. Thanks for pointing it out.
Episode 2 ‘The Black Prince’ is working again in iTunes. If there are any more problems please let me know. Thanks.
