Lost Episodes
Although it was terribly disappointing to lose these episodes and in the interest of all the guests who were interviewed during these times. I am going to include the names of the people interviewed, the episode titles, and the show descriptions below.
Unfortunately all episodes before November 28, 2012 are not available due to a technical issue with Spreecast (the platform I use for the show). They have successfully remedied the problem and have multiple back-up servers in place in case of a similar problem in the future.
