Jay, I don’t know if this is happening to the iTunes feed (I am not an Apple Borg), but every time you post an issue the RSS is populating my Google Reader with nearly 200 episodes. This has happened with the past two uploads, and I thought I’d let you know just in case you were not aware of a problem. No need to reply. Thanks for your time. -e
I’m having trouble with this episode. It’s not downloading on iTunes, or playing the site, and the MP3 I downloaded direct from the site wouldn’t play on any of my media players. 
I somehow managed to not realize that there was a problem with this episode until now. It had downloaded for me OK and now appears to be broken. Just another in the line of glitches that have been popping up. Hoping to have everything straightened out soon. (Fingers crossed)
Review on ITunes
Feedburner appears to be disagreeing with iTunes for some reason, and my iTunes can’t find the proxy to download at, at least not for this episode. The URL it’s looking for it at is:
“http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BestOfTheLeftPodcast/~5/Ww6suWeCZrw/*filename*”
No idea what’s going on, but it works fine on the website at least.
