[PaulDotCom - Hello, I just downloaded episode 20 and had no problems. Also, many people already answered the question at the end, so I know they got through the entire podcast. Please try again (maybe a direct download vs iTunes?) and let me know how you make out. Let me know either way, paul@pauldotcom.com).
