  1. Hey Dave I can't listen to your podcast on the Spotity website, only through the app, why is that? I listen to a lot of podcasts on my computer, why is your podcast available only on the Spotify app? Doesn't make sense to me.

    1. Ugh. First of all, Jose - thanks for listening to my podcast (or at least trying to). I didn't specifically set it up that way (to my knowledge) so I'm not sure why it does that. FYI - I have the same problem if I try to listen to it on my computer.
