"Where's the beef?" asked Walter Mondale of Gary Hart in their famous 1984 Democratic presidential debate.

"Where's the outrage?" asked an exasperated Bob Dole over the Clinton finance scandals in 1996.

Now comes, "Where's the podcast?" Matthew Bond of Nashville, Tenn., the Listener of NPR's "It's All Politics" podcast put together by what's-his-name and me, writes, "When I click on my 'It's All Politics' bookmark, I get a page listing podcasts from October 31st back, but nothing since. What's the deal?"

Similarly, Gregory Veevers of Ottawa, Ontario, from the continent of Canada wait, does that mean there is more than one Listener?? adds, "Where was the podcast the week of the 24th? I couldn't find it!"

Rest assured, listener(s), the Podcast is alive and well. Ron Elving and I recorded three episodes since the election (with a week off for Thanksgiving; hence the name "Thanksgiving"). I will make sure to find the missing links and alert Mr. Darwin.
