Thank you guys, nice episodes like always.
Hello guys! Thanks for every single episode you’ve done so far, I wish I had more time to listening more episodes every day, although I am still able to listen 2 episodes and repeat them 2-3 times. However, I am having some issues listening the podcasts using my iPhone through the web site, so I needed to listen via Spotify even though I am a culips member. I don’t know if I am the only one experiencing this problem.
Thanks for the great feedback! I’m sorry you’re having a problem playing the episodes on your iPhone. Are you trying to download the mp3 files to your phone or are you trying to play them directly from the website in the online player? We’ll try our best to get this issues fixed for you. Thanks again 🙂
