Is the podcast no longer hosted on iTunes? I've not found it lately and have been listening through my browser.

Unbelievably and annoyingly, Apple has still not re-listed PolyCast on the service. I have not even been able to get a response as to the status of its return after repeated attempts. I know that there was an issue for a couple of months with our feed -- my fault for letting it go on as long as it did -- but it's been almost as long now since it was corrected.

Hope you're still enjoying the show!

There is another podcast listed named Polycast. Wonder if that's the issue?

Still lovin' it!

Hmmm... it was there with 'this' PolyCast simultaneously, but anything is possible.
