I also had a look through and it looks like the links to the mp3's for Episodes 14 to 19 (part 1 to 6 of the Book of L'aif) are also broken. Thanks for the podcast. I am really enjoying them so far.

The visual memory association really helps viewers as well. I imagine it's hard to aggressively splice roleplaying audio material. The short sound clips would risk being 'estranged' in the listeners' minds without some reference. The longer clips presented in this podcast certainly did well at catching everything up and pointing out important points from previous sessions, but these clips are somewhat long for a "previously on", in my opinion. I think it would be more efficient to continue the previous method of short descriptions; I don't really want to listen to 0:30-1:00 clips over again. ~ “Previously on” clips are generally good because they are aggressively spliced and cram a lot of background/reminder information into a short period of time.
