Fresh Air podcast feed gone kaput

My favorite podcast, Fresh Air, stopped updating on July 7. I couldn't imagine that the problem was with the feed, so I went on a hunt for a bug in my podcatcher, and traced my way right to the problem. It wasn't finding the enclosure on each item. I looked at the feed and found out why.  Permalink to this paragraph

So if you're missing your Fresh Air, as I am (there have been some good ones since July 7), someone tripped on a wire at NPR, or so it seems. Permalink to this paragraph
