Multiple postings...

If you listen to this podcast on itunes, you will have noticed that episode 14 was posted, like, three times.  That's my bad.  It wasn't showing up and wasn't showing up and wasn't showing up and then finally it showed up.  And now I can't seem to figure out how to delete it.  If anyone knows how to hide it using hipcast (I published it to the feed three times), let me know.  Otherwise...sorry...
