Hi Neal,
I have tried to download the “rant” from iTunes today, as per normal, but it says it can’t find it on the server?
I think there may be some kind of issue that requires your attention!
Hope all is well with you.
Jaime.
Sorry about the confusion Jaime. I had to reload the file because it wasn’t behaving itself yesterday. That wiped out the link to the original file. I though I had it all fixed. I had to do another step to get it re-sent to itunes. That’s now done, so you should be able to click “get” and it should come through. If that doesn’t work try unsubscribing (Heaven Forbid!) and re-subscribe. It should then download just fine.
Thanks for pointing this out.
All the best,
Neal
Chef - after listening to the special edition rant podcast today, I realize you have dragged me (kicking and screaming) out of my comfort zone and into the real world. When I started following you more than a year ago, I wanted to hear the cooking and gardening stories you tell so well. The “politics of food” was a phrase I had never heard. As the saying goes, when you know better, you do better. I appreciate your wisdom and understanding of the big picture. In Chattanooga, TN, I was happy shopping at the big box stores… it was cheap and convenient. Now I know better, and we are spending more cash for higher quality local foods. I wish you would pack up the long-suffering wife and all the kiddos and move here. The tri-state area (TN,GA,AL) has beautiful mountains, valleys and lots of farmland. Thank you for all you do. Delilah
