Our Week In The Web: September 18, 2015

If you're one of podcast subscribers (hello out there, friends!) you may have noticed a delay in upload for some of our episodes this past week. There's a lot of things that happen in the process that starts when our show airs live on terrestrial radio, is edited down to form and processed by our audio engineer, our parents over at NPR HQ in Washington and blasted out to your iPhones / Androids / podcast subscription services. This week, one of those steps hit a weird hiccup, and delayed showing up in your player, and for that, we apologize. The good news is that we've instituted a few new back-end checks to prevent that from happening again. Additionally, we encourage you to let us know, on Twitter, Facebook or email us at onpointnpr AT gmail DOT com if your podcast ever doesn't upload in a timely fashion. Thanks as always for your patience, and for your alerts when things are broken!

"If that 'Bastard Executioner' clip sounded good to you, you should probably not listen to what I'm about to say here.' — Willa Paskin

"Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren really sound like the populism of the 1890s." — Charles Postel 

"All these current outsider candidates are qualified, but the last time the Republican Party nominated an outsider, he was qualified because he won World War II." — Ramesh Ponuru 

"What standout performance? Did you see a different debate from the one I saw?" (Adam Birnbaum)

"I feel for the staff of On Point trying to scan through these comments and find anything that's usable - or repeatable - on air." (Maureen Ryan)

"Isn't the candidate who wins popular? If so, would that candidate be a populist? Maybe, needing a label, such a candidate could be called a pluralist. Or a majoratist. Of course sometimes an unpopular candidate wins an election, though it seems unlikely. Would that candidate be an unpopulist?" (John Hamilton)

"Your guest's vocal fry is so offputting i can't listen to this segment. Please! No vocal fry!!" (@burgessvt1954)
