This week we're going to take a look at ten photographs from a recent visit to the Five Color Lakes or "Goshikinuma" in Fukushima, here in Japan. Goshikinuma literally means five color swamps, although that isn't the prettiest translation, so pond is often used, although some are definitely large enough to be considered lakes. Goshikinuma are five volcanic lakes in the Urabandai area of Fukushima, at the foot of Mount Bandai. They were formed when Mount Bandai erupted in July, 1888, killing approximately 500 people as it destroyed a number of towns. The eruption completely changed the landscape, creating a plateau area and dammed some rivers. The lakes...

Posted at 16:38h, 03 JuneHi Martin,
Not sure if the problem is at my end or yours (although I haven’t had problems with any other podcast) but your latest episode isn’t downloading to my Android Samsung phone, using the Pocketcasts app. Just thought I should let you know.
Thanks!

Posted at 18:28h, 03 JuneWhich are you trying to download, the m4a (Enhanced) or mp3? There was an issue with the Enhanced version due to the quotes in the title in the iTunes edited file, and a conflict with our Podcast server, but I fixed that shortly after release. If you are using the mp3 feed, I can try removing the quotes there too. Please let me know.

Posted at 07:12h, 04 JuneI am having the same problem using iTunes. The error states: The URL “https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.m4a?https://traffic.libsyn.com/mbppodcast/mbpp_ep474.m4a” could not be found on the server.

Posted at 09:31h, 04 JuneThanks for letting me know Chris.
I just did a few checks, and found the m4a failing again. I just uploaded the exact same file and replaced the original one on our server, and it seems to be working again. Could you please check and let me know if it works now? If you continue to have issues, please follow the instructions in the Show Notes section at the bottom of the above post and try again.
Either way, please let me know if this doesn’t fix the issue.
