What is up with Podbean? Are others seeing this?

I have seen this before but I'll mention this now before I go senile again and forget it. I was re-listening to episodes and got up to # 265. It's showing up as over 5 hours long. It seems to be an hour-ish as usual but it continues on into silence, maybe an extra 4 hours of it. There's other episodes like this, just curious why it's happening.

I've had it too. Mine plays as normal and finishes as normal, however if you listen innth car as I do, and someone rings, forget about trying to find your place again. It won't resume like normal. No idea, only had it maybe 3 times total ?

Yeah there were a few episodes that were wonky like this. I haven't seen one in a long while though.

There’s a secret message about 4 hours into the dead silence. I may be off by 10 minutes or so.

Is it like one of those devil tracks, where it's recorded backwards ? I bet it says "Frank Galli is the zodiac killer".

Yep, mine does the same thing too ...

Frank has mentioned this in a few episodes now - he has no control over what happens once the episodes are loaded into the app, and there do seem to be some gremlins.

Mine, for example, keeps telling me I haven't listened to all of the 6+ hours of the Chris Way / The Kraft 'Masterclass' episode, and automatically schedules it to play every so often. Means I keep re-hearing that episode ... which isn't a bad thing!

Quick update: in Episode 222, Frank suggested uninstalling and reinstalling the Podbean app ...
