Yup. In the Soundcloud player you’ll see a little down arrow at the top right. Click that to download the file. Admittedly, it’s a little finicky. I had to click it a few times to get it to work.

Do you have a new rss feed address? The one I have now will not update the new podcast, episode 211. I use Beyondpod podcast app.

Hello Marc,
I’ve just finished to watch the YouTube channel about Japanese timber frame joinery.
Amazing precision and scary too (no safety equipment, always hoping nobody will loose his balance…).
Thank you for your different shows.
Have a nice one.
