WE GOOFED!

Maybe you’re as shocked as we are; maybe not. But we goofed on the attached file for the podcast on Friday December 23, 2011.

Somehow (and the webmaster still doesn’t understand how) a file name that didn’t exist got attached to the podcast and it led to a MUCH older show in the archives which should have been impossible, technically speaking. In any case, it’s fixed now.

You can access the show for 12/23/11 below. Enjoy!
