Can I ask what keeps bringing you back to engage on that wretched site? As far as I can tell, this is the only kind of interaction available there anymore.

Thanks for taking a look! I’m using the Overcast app, and I do subscribe to all episodes for downloads.

I was literally just thinking about this yesterday. Like at least make 20 episodes per season, jeez. And it’s such a shame because it’s by far my favorite NuTrek.
