Stitcher Update 8:30Jim submitted his shows one at a time to get the updates to the name changes.

Audiometric.io 16:46https://audiometric.io/ says sponsors are starting soon and right now they have an ad in rotation (we play it).
You don't get to pick the advertiser. Their service is free, and their stats are so-so. They whack your file name. It's free.
