i had trouble downloading files.  but the bits i got to hear sounded
pretty professionally put together -- they do only one podcast a
week, but it's long, and that's an awful lot of work -- but, as ed
keer said, weak on facts.

i'm beginning to feel inundated by auditory as well as written data.
so much to keep track of!  [sing to the tune of "so nice to come home
to".]
