EMAILS

Hi, I just discovered your podcast and I’m listening from the first episode. It’s full of geeky goodness and I’ve enjoyed every episode so far. However, I discovered that the MP3 for podcast 25 is unavailable. Would you be able to check the link in your spare time or perhaps send the MP3 via email?

Thanks,

Chris
