    Love the show but I always have problems with your player. It just randomly stops sometimes and I have to refresh the page to get it working again. I have never had this issue on any other site or player, only here. That aside, keep up the great work!

      Thanks Doug i’m glad you enjoyed the show! I’m sorry that you’re having some trouble with the web player though, we are using MediaElement.js ( which is supposed to be most compatible as it’s mostly HTML5) but thanks for reporting issue I’ll see what I can do to resolve it

      fair enough.. its a very focused style of music. i think it’s one of those things you either LOVE or don’t care for at all. i think over using the arps can get really tedious sounding too. there’s gotta be a balance (at least for me)
