  12. Hi everyone,

    I just wanted to thank everyone for this very useful feedback. It's been really valuable for Ralitza and myself.

    Could I just ask, though, if the people who reported technical problems with podcasts could be a little more specific? What kind of problems have you had? Has anyone else experienced the same problem as F.Y. (low volume on playback.

    Thanks once again.
