I think it's great to be able to watch these episodes, but even with my sound turned up full-blast, the sound is not very loud.

So whatever happened to that Typesetting startup?

Honestly, would it be that tough to write a spider that runs through the site and checks that the links and filenames match?

I tried to play the Real Stream of this file but the film "How to set type" is what actually played in my player. I think the link is screwy. Also the QT file wouldn't play at all.
