Hi guys - I noticed this episode isn't showing up in the iTunes store. No biggie - I can get it from here. :) Just thought I'd mention it in case you weren't aware. Love your Spiel des Jahres episodes!

Hi Nikkie!
Thanks for catching my mistake! Somehow I saved over the Kinderspiel episode listing when I updated the feed last time. Whoops!
The iTunes feed has been updated and should have the Kinderspiel episode listed in its proper place.
Glad to know people are watching out for my goofs... and that was a BIG one!
