I lost your show for 3 weeks. It still isn’t showing up as the right feed in the downcast iphone app. I added it manually, but I would guess that can’t be good for subscriptions.

Could you guys try resubscribing to Gweek via iTunes and letting me know if you can get episodes 24-26? Thanks!

  I just resubscribed through iTunes now, and it seems to be working. I see eps 1 to 26 and just downloaded both 25 and 26…Hooray!!

Apparently Mixel *requires* a Facebook account to sign in. Why????

Dungeon Raid rocks. I listened to the podcast purely for this discussion. Okay, Skyrim is cutting into my Dungeon Raid time.

Ah, Skyrim. 25 hours within 3 days did not bode well for my fall grades. I had to turn off my computer, unplug it and store it in the closet.
