There's a feed - but it has no episodes in it?

Hey fediverse can anyone tell me what's wrong with my podcast feed? Putting it through a feed validator tells me "Found zero items with a valid enclosure tag." but I have no idea what to change on my end - using PowerPress to produce the feed

It's Friday so why not join me in some cynical dismay over the state of "feedback" with this sign from my local United States Postal Service office (sigh), asking for feedback. Telling us that they value our feedback. And then just casually introducing bias in their favor by showing us what kind of feedback they want both in text and emoji.

I think Google translate did a fantastic job. The only thing that glitched for me was something like Superman is Superman if you are under 30 where it’s the same word for both in English but I figured there was some cultural reference I wouldn’t understand where they were different words in what you wrote. Extremely easy to read and understand and mostly I didn’t think about it being translated

also, I mentioned the Gilbreth's in my keynote at Advancing Research and I tried to get a laugh from "therblig" - and I definitely did NOT get any laughs from the way I brought it up. But no problem I got laughs later on.

You of course did a lot of thinking, preparing, and writing, from one perspective around a very large event, beforehand, the only perspective you had available. But now and in the short term you will have possibly another perspective.

I hadn't seen any of the posts leading up to this (although i think I've now read them) - thanks for sharing and for writing and I'm glad to know a bit more about what has been going on with you.
"Rest is difficult when you feel a lot of responsibility." - I wonder how you will feel about that statement in the next 6 or 60 days.
