My Profile
Elyse Bruce
In March 2009, MyPodcast upgraded with new hardware that was supposed to help the performance of the site. During the integration of this new equipment, a problem occured wherein software destroyed a key database that associates podcast episodes with their owners.
It destroyed all episodes titles and descriptions.
The good news is that the audio files of all podcasts are completely intact, however, MyPodcast now has to re-associate these episodes with their podcasts and rebuild all of the pages from backup data.
The missing MIDNIGHT IN CHICAGO podcasts were from between January 2008 to June 2008 and include:
AUTISM AND THE MEDIA
AUTISM AND BULLYING: PART ONE
AUTISM AND BULLYING: PART TWO
AUTISM AND VACCINES: PART ONE
AUTISM AND VACCINES: PART TWO
They have been reloaded onto mypodcast.com and are available here as well as at autism.podomatic.com.
Currently, our audio podcasts on Autism Spectrum Disorders are linked to by over 650 Autism and health organizations around the world as well as reputable and respected experts in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Thank you for your patience and we look forward to bringing you more fact-based podcasts on Autism Spectrum Disorders in upcoming months.
