Customer Reviews
Yes!
This is awesome- getting the video segments on my phone daily. Makes my bus commute bearable.
Chicago Last Week would be a better Podcast name!
Ok, so today is the 22nd, and the most recent (and only Podcast) is from the 16th? On Demand from Comcast stays current within a day so what's with iTunes? I was looking for the usual Friday night weekly round table, instead I got a short segment from almost a week ago. This is a great disapoinment. Some Window On The World.
