love the Saturday format. However, the podcast ends during Matt Boyd (Itunes)
Wait, what? It cuts early?!
Mine died after Boyd too
Hmm, try deleting and re-downloading
same for me, i use Stitcher. only got around a half hour of audio.
I deleted it and re-downloaded, but it still cuts out for me on Android via the Pocket Casts app.
Yup still bad for me too
Still the same for me too. Just downloaded the MP3 straight from this site and it shows up as a 35:17 min podcast and cuts off while talking about Jackie Bradley’s injury. Refreshing my podcast feed doesn’t help either.
Wow that’s frustrating. I have no idea how to fix that because I can’t even emulate the issue.
I re-uploaded the file under a different name. Try now.
It works now
Yep working now, thanks Paul!
Mine worked perfectly.
