Is there a reason there are no more episodes on https://splintermind.libsyn.com ? I recently came back to listening to the podcast and there haven't been any episodes for a couple of days now.
Also, did Thor stop being in the podcast for good?

Ah, indeed: "We are in the process of switching hosting services. The RSS feed has not yet been updated in iTunes. If you are using another service such as Podbean or others you will need to manually add this RSS feed in order to automatically have our episodes updated. There will be a lag as we are limited as to the number of uploads per month, but we hope to have as many up as quickly as possible. this may result in older episodes that our seasoned listeners may have already heard being uploaded. We appreciate your patience as we plod through this tedious transition."

I guess they've just completely abandoned this sight in favor of facebook and patreon? I would love to keep listening to the podcast but the old RSS is down and they have put no effort into communicating the new one so....I guess I'm just done listening?

They are still putting out stuff via Patreon, I think there are free/unlocked (edited?) episodes on the Patreon site too.
I've unsubscribed, I don't feel like paying to listen to them strawman any Drukhari fan who isn't overjoyed with how we are treated by GW.

This is also a main reason why I stopped (I just can't listen to somebody ranting over the internet every single episode, come on).
But even more so I miss Thor and his reasonable competitive thoughts, it really gave the show some well-groundedness.
I always got a chuckle out of the line, "sorry, I'm just...I'm on like 4 hours of sleep right now." Every episode, guaranteed. Never 5, never 3. If you only sleep 4 hours every night, it's certainly not healthy, but not information that needs to provided every episode.
I just rediscovered their newer episodes and I have to agree with much of what you guys are saying. They very regularly attack the strawman of the "forever ungrateful" drukhari forum dweller. This is while saying that they don't go on forums... Feel the podcast would be much improved by them reading forums and saying what specific points they disagree and why. This might not be great still without a pure drukhari competitive player onboard.
Thor and his competitive input are sorely lacking now. The podcast about the points changes was especially painful to listen to. Without him, I honestly don't know why these guys are being consulted for drukhari playtesting by GW... Thank god for Lawrence from Tabletop Tactics.
I think its a wise move by them to have changed the subtitle of the podcast to Aeldari instead of dark eldar, cause they really just touch drukhari at a surface level before moving on these days. Saddens me a bit though cause they used to be really good to listen to.

At least Lawrence was supportive about the stupid Munitorum points debacle, and said that (for what it's worth) he fed back to GW that the Drukhari points changes were misguided.
Lawrence is a very good player (od whichever army he uses), but he definitely lacks Skari's deeper understanding of the Drukhari rules/units. I'm gad he is a play tester, but I wish Skari were too.

Oh well, there is still the Real Space Raiders podcast with a few episodes free online.
Thanks for the mention, had never heard of them. Will download a few episodes on pocketcasts and check them out.

As I understand the fires in California had disrupted the pod casts One of the guys had to leave his house He wasn't sure if he was going to lose it While the firefighters saved the area for now they may not be allowed back I agree with your comments I don't understand why Skari is not a play tester I'm a patron and giving alot of comments on his page As a drukhari player I'm highly experimental and use other units most don't and like to try crazy things So enjoy bouncing ideas off skari
Often works with people playing to the meta too much lol Like using 9 cronos in a tournament early 2019 with drukhari index coming 7th out of 30 in a tourn
I'm also a patron to splintermind Miss Thors comments If I recall correctly splintermind said they got asked alot of fluff stuff in regards to play testing Ie how was this unit supposed to work so it was not all play testing

To answer the original question, the iTunes problem was fixed. Shows were available from the new hosting site directly, now should be back up for iTunes subscribers.

The original question had nothing to do with iTunes.

Quite right, hadn’t scrolled up far enough.
