    I listen to the podcast on my 3G running iOS4.0. Great work guys. I wish I was going to be in Madison this weekend, but I'll have to catch another one. I don't need much of an excuse to take a road trip in my Prius!

    I'm walking around with my laptop and a microphone doing impromptu interviews. Hopefully, I'll get something that Russell can work with.

    Really? Damn. Everytime I try to download it directly on the iPhone 4, it says:

    "Episode 24" cannot be played on this iPhone

    EDIT: Even with iOS 4.0.1. Hmm.

    Aye, I didn't specify, but I am getting it through iTunes. I listen to A LOT of the TWiT network so I have to have the podcasts come to me.

    What I found trying to download Chelsea Sexton's interview:

    • iPod load using its iTunes - left an unusable file
    • iTunes load on Mac followed by sync to iPod - worked fine
    I seldom load directly to my iPod but I have fetched, Stephanie Miller, Keith Oberman and Rachel Madow directly to my iPod from WiFi hotspots. It was just this podcast that seems to require an intermediate iTunes load-and-forward. Since I have an effective workaround, I don't worry about it much.

    I always have to dig to find the mp3 file, but an mp3 will play on anything. Even my on Android phone. I believe in keeping things simple.

    I have discovered the reason Tony got to drive the PHV, instead of Danny:

    It didn't occur to me until I had given it up that I could have totally done a video review of the car. I think I'll ask Toyota for another chance.
