Very strange.  I had no problems at all with episode 5.  And grabbed 6 
for a listen yesterday.

Alas, it's over too quickly. :/  And we missed Graeme this time around - 
looks like he just had other commitments.

Yeah, radio isn't really an issue, and I imagine we'll still get to 
continue to listen to things.

As for other stuff, well, some of the stuff is on BBC America or PBS over 
here.  There are a few things that require a little more creativity to 
view.

Excellent.  And I've got a few thousand similar measures coming up over 
the next 12 months or so - we just bought our 2016/2017 Seattle Symphony 
tickets last weekend. :)
