Feed Issues

The fun never ends at TCF and we have gotten several notices about issue with the feed for the podcast. Not only has subscribing been hampered but the archive available through the iTunes store has been severely limited to now only 6 episodes out of over 90 shows. We are working with Libsyn to see if we can resolve this ASAP.

This may involve switching not only the feed and the blogsite but I will send out a notification on any or all changes as soon as I know.
