It appears that the name server change has propagated around the internet and that everything is working just as before. If you have any issues with the site, feed, or anything else, please let us know.

On Tuesday January 21st I will be moving the website to the new host. If you attempt to visit the site while I’m waiting for my DNS to refresh to the new name server you may see a fresh WordPress install. As soon as I gain access I will turn on Maintenance Mode. With any luck the process will only take a few hours, but as with anything, it may take longer. Also, during this process the feeds will be down so episode downloads will not be possible. When it’s all said and done, everything should be just as it is on this host. However, if you want to download the Chariots of Iron archives, you will need to do that before the site move as they will not be transferred to the new host.

UPDATE – The files for this episode are hosted on Libsyn and the MP3 appears to be good. However, there is a problem with the Ogg file. I am troubleshooting this issue. UPDATE 2 – In my testing this is only effecting the Ogg web player and the one fix I’ve tried has not worked, so I have disabled the Ogg web player and will try uploading them separately next time to see whether or not the issue persists. Please let me know if you run into any issues since we have made a change to hosting.
