  • Yes , a Let Down

    The episode titled Is this a Let Down? was aired for the third time on June 22, 2025. At least it was labeled “Encore” when it was broadcast the second time a year ago. I don’t mind repeat shows, but at least give a heads up to your regular listeners by identifying them as encores.
