Mp3 link at the top missing. Any other way of downloading to mobile rather than streaming?

Matthew C

There is a direct mp3 link at the bottom of the description

HB2K

Thanks Matt but that's streaming only, at least on my browser

Anyone know the name of the outro song? A segment was used in episode 41 but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere.

Graeme Anfinson

Loved the show. I like the discussion about the Verso panel. Much of the left support for Syrian intervention regard early Syria protests as a revolution and that there is a genuinely revolutionary movement that might need to make a temporary alliance with empire. (Like the Kurds do.) That's the fights I've been having anyway.

I was called an "Assadist" recently too. My goodness.

hold your finger inside the border of the media player in your browser. It should open up a context window after a second or so and you will be able to save link as. do that and it should be in your downloads, you can find it with your built in music player under songs usually.

Dan Ward

Came here to ask too ... tried googling some of the lyrics, but no hits.

Koob

bumping this as I would like to know as well

Matthew Karpowicz

Same, I've googled almost every part of the song and nothing comes up

Ronald Dahlgren

Hello friends. I would prefer the format for episodes with special guests start with the world news summary. I think that helps me get in the right mindset before a deep dive with a guest.

The RSS feed seems to be broken. Is there a new URL?

Christian Walter

Great show again. If I might make a suggestion: the intervention in Ex-Yugoslavia keeps coming up in your shows as well as its consequences. The rise of Putin, the decline of the left. Why don't you guys do a show on that? I think that would be really helpful because many people don't know about this.

Not sure why but on patreon app for iPhone the download keeps saying 'failed'. Anyone else run into that?

Ditto on that song at the end... any ideas?

NEX

Does anyone have a working RSS feed for subscribers? The previous one posted is dead.

The RSS feed works but this weeks episode is broken. Same here on Patreon. I liked Mark's comments on the pro-Syria intervention hippies being so hyped to lead other people into war. I think that's where neocons came from in the first place. That plus handy weapons industry profits.
