    Can’t seem to get the podcast episode 5 and 7 to have the play arrow button to come on my android phone from your website to listen to these podcasts. The others have the arrow to the right if the screen. Any advise.
    I betrayed my wife and crushed her and want to listen to these as she has already and she agrees that this is one tool for me to understand what she is feeling.

    Thank you
