Friends and followers of RFG.

For reasons I am unable to divine (or correct), the latest edition of this podcast, #64, is not turning up on iTunes. The only anomaly/clue I've found is that the .mp3 file isn't included in the feed.

Can anyone . . . perhaps a fellow podcaster who may have run into this problem as well . . . tell me why this is(n't) happening and how to fix it? I'd like to share the wealth (such as it is) as far and as wide as I possibly can.

Thanks.

It's an unforgivable oversight, but I forgot to post a notice here on Sunday that, due to what was then a raging stomach illness on the part of this reporter, the podcast wouldn't be heard this week.

Since I'm feeling better, there's a chance I'll crank one out in the next few days, but in the event that I don't, episode #61 will appear this coming Monday, on schedule.

Thanks for your patience . . . those among you with patience, that is.
