  1. Hi Kat, Hi Curt, Just wanted to drop a note about your podcast on German iTunes.  As of August 8th (or so), it stopped updating automatically.  Now, in order to get the updates, i have to go to the store, find your podcast, and download each episode individually.  The subscribe button does not work, though i have been subscribed since we met at Mythmoot 2 (?) back in 2013.   And, just for more information, at the same time, a similar thing happend with the Mythgard Academy podcast, except that one is even more severe.  When i go to the iTunes store, the MA podcast is not available.  The search returns zero results.  I chatted with Ed about it and he has no answer for it.  It is a mystery as to what happened. Most of my other podcasts (all of them?) still work like normal.  Just these two seem disrupted in some way. Just though i’d let you know. (Oh, i only discovered it now because i’m a good 3 months behind you guys… just getting to the beginning of Season 5 of Angel now… :-) ) later… Stephen Benedetti A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. -Leo Tolstoy, novelist and philosopher (9 Sep 1828-1910)
