Hi Kathy! Sorry we’re still working out the bugs on this new site. Both episodes 42 and 43 should now be downloadable through the “Download” link as an mp3 file. We are still having trouble getting the built-in player to work. Remember you can also subscribe in iTunes and the files will download to your computer automatically when you open iTunes at home!
Contest answer is the clone 2242 Cooker in the comic. His number is a reference to 501st member TK-2242 whose screen name is “Deviant”
