  • Radiohead or The smile (band)

    Hello, I have a question for you: ¿why can’t your episodes be downloaded? I get an error and I don’t know why? And I also wanted to tell you that you can’t make a podcast talking about Radiohead, Jonny Greenwood or the new album by the smile o The truth is, I don’t know if you continue making content but hey, I hope this comment reaches you and if so, thank you for reading.
