Can we get the iTunes feed updated?

The show is great, but why are there only these five shows from 2008 available on iTunes? This deserves an audience.

"Academic old men gatekeep intellectualism, anathema to mission of accessible philosophy"

This is a great program, if you are privileged enough to be able to access it. Why is a non-profit organization, Stanford University, withholding this program from those who want to listen?
Make your content accessible like every other discussion program rather than personify the kind of academic elitism and exclusionary practices that makes people hate academia. We just want to hear your show, what is wrong with you. This only serves the pretentious, privileged, out of touch conceptions that the vast majority of people recognize.
