FMEO Show Errors?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Potter) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 09:10:42 PDT

8/21 UPDATE: The issues with the show seem to be mostly resolved now. "Lyrics" are still stripped from the download, but that's being worked on as I type this.

Hey Everyone,

I'm getting word that some listeners are experiencing trouble with the show recently such as incorrect timing in iTunes and missing show notes in the "lyrics" field - something iPhone and iPod Touch users look for.

While I try to figure out what the heck is going on, I wanted to make fresh copies of each available for you to download should you care to.

I apologize for any inconvenience and am working to find the source of the problem.

Until then, please enjoy this archive of episodes 133 and 134 that should play properly as well as include the missing show notes.
