  • Poor quality

    Like the podcast, but who ever or how ever they are uploading the show to iTunes is corrupting the file. Can’t fast forward, rewind, if you stop playback and start again it starts the episode over again. The most recent episode stops about 15 minutes into the show and then starts over from the beginning
