Yikes.
Checking up on this, the update schedule seems to have been:
Up to Episode 133 added in March.
Episodes 134-137 added in mid-April (all 4 posted on the same day)
Episodes 138-141 added in May (4 more)
Episodes 142-147 (6 new episodes) added in June
...and nothing since that time. It has now been over 10 weeks since the podcast feed for Exploring Lord of the Rings has updated.
The Silm Film podcast is in a similar situation. The first three sessions of Season 5 were posted, but there have been no updates since May 1st. There have been a total of 13 sessions so far, so the asynchronous podcast listeners are 10 sessions and 20 weeks behind.
Does the podcast team take a break for the summer? If so, would they like assistants to help out during that time, to give them a break from their duties? We could likely recruit additional volunteers to help out, if desired.
