  • Where did the episodes go?

    I had looked forward to several years of enjoying a new episode every day. Suddenly 13 years of episodes are gone; and the many shows before 2006 were never in my feed. I checked for a “donate” button or “contact us” button but none of several websites had one. Unfortunately, it appears a review is my only way to contact the professor.
