I love listening to Fr. Mitch teach. However, it’s very frustrating when the recording isn’t checked before posting to the site and all we get is a blank signal. I’ve also tried to download other episodes recently and I get messages that the episode is not available for download at this time. I’m not sure if this is an EWTN or Apple problem. I don’t have a problem w other EWTN podcasts I download so I tend to think this is not an Apple problem but a problem w whomever is handling this podcast. Please look into this and correct it so we can listen to Fr. Mitch. Thank you for your attention and for bringing us this wonderful podcast.

Please check when posting recording
