I wasn’t able to listen to this one
Hi there, Was anyone else able to listen to the January 26 episode, entitled, “Adressing the Omicron Variant SARS-CoV-2?” I’m a religious listener and would still like to hear this one but every time I try to open a notice pops up saying that the episode is temporarily unavailable.

Interview Titles
These audio interviews are great however I would like to make a observation/recommendation. My observation is that in most cases when deciding which podcast to listen to the topic is more important then the author. Because of the format of the podcast listings in iTunes, the author is always visible, but the topic is almost always truncated. Therefore, my suggestion would be to list the topic title before the author in the list of available podcasts.
