Ok. I had an issue last night uploading it and had to use an alternate format. That’s probably causing the issue.

Works fine in Firefox, the only browser anyone should be using if they value their privacy.

Not playing on my phone either…. all the ones in the past have played
This is a general FYI on Radio Contra (RC) episode 9.
NC Scout uploaded an episode that was greater than 64mb which is our max through our server. I have been working with our server host most of yesterday to get a fix for future uploads.
Scout was able to get a version of the pod cast up using a different file converter than we usually use. The episode plays fine on several browsers like Firefox, Brave, etc. and all Android phones. Not so much on iPhones – Sorry ladies and gentlemen.
Scout is facilitating a carbine class this weekend and is not home where the episode 9-file lives; Consequently, we can not try the fix. Lord willing, it should be re-uploaded by Monday, mid-day.
So with all of that, NC Scout, I, and the rest of the authors at AP would like to apologize for any tearing at ones hair, the occasional iPhone being tossed across the room, or just general frustrations experienced during this hiccup.
73 & God Bless

Solid copy to what JohnyMac posted.
Yeah so far I’ve tried Chrome, Safari, Bing and FireFox on an iPhone11 with no joy as of 0919 PT.
Would love to have these broadcast on Spotify. Hint Hint.
Rob,
Spotify huh? LOL, we will see. As Scout has posted several times, we are working through this new medium, for us; pod casts and direct video uploads (Leaving YT out of the picture for obvious reasons).
WE are TOTALLY open to all suggestions.
Thank you Brother for your input.
