I have gotten the habit of listening to Thom on my iPod every morning during my commute. Today Ben seems to be 5 shows behind in editing out the ads. Does anyone know if there is a problem? I don't work far enough away to listen to the whole unedited three hours, and I am a traffic hazzard when I constantly look down to fast forward! Is the problem economic, technical or legal? Is there anything I can do?

It is very helpful when Ben puts up a note about short term technical problems - its frustrating to check several time a day with no word.

I also noticed that when the edited podcast is posted late, the mp3 title tag sometimes has the date of download instead of the date of the show. Very confusing because then you get duplicate dates on your iPod.

Suggestion: It would be nice to have one instance of the labor news and AAR news in the edited podcast, maybe at the beginning or end. Its wearisome to listen unedited and hear the same stories multiple times, but I do like these features.

Hi oldgreysteve,

I've not heard back from Ben what the problem is. Sorry.
