Technical Difficulties

Unfortunately as I was preparing to post this week's episode (Ep 5.19- The Army of the Andes) the recording turned out to be corrupted beyond repair and I'm gonna have to re-record the whole thing which I can't do until tomorrow morning. So...sorry gang. See ya tomorrow. 

If you are dismayed that the episode didn't show up on time might I suggest a way to show your appreciation for the hard work of producing the show and the horror you just felt of possibly being without it: http://revolutionspodcastfundraiser.com/.
