I have received several emails recently letting me know that the Wicker Man review (episode 7) does not download. I don't know what happened to it because it used to work, but regardless, it has been re-uploaded onto my server, and is available for downloading. Thanks to those of you who emailed me to let me know.
I am almost done preparing the next episode, sorry for the delay. It was supposed to be out last week, but a family emergency came up, and I am in Wisconsin right now.
