Where the blazes in my comment? You fail to record them? What a gyp.
Please put up segments as soon as you can, if you will, otherwise one cant go back and check what was said if a segment is interesting - and Ben Lerner is VERY interesting - if listening got interrupted by Life, as does happen. Is there any problem in putting it up at once? Hope not.
