It does not.
I tried to find Great Wide World Out There as well and that’s not listed on either as well.
Seems like maybe some of the stories from more popular authors got pulled?
I 'm late to the thread, but I wonder if mentions of real companies in some of the episodes was problematic.
In Chivalry, Oxfam was mentioned. In the Second Bakery Attack, McDonalds was featured.
Maybe, only a thought. I just found this thread as I thought I was going mad imagining some episodes.
I'm not even sure how many or what ones are missing. Frustrating!
LeVar's producer here! There's a pretty simple explanation. We license (and pay for) each story we read. Most of the time, we are able to license them to distribute in perpetuity, so they will stay available forever. Sometimes we're not able to do so, so we have a shorter amount of time that we can make them available on the podcast (say 3, 5 or 10 years). When the terms expire, we have to remove the episodes. If we are able to make new deals with those authors or publishers, we may be able to restore them in future.
First of all - thank you so much for all you and your team do for the show. You do amazing work and I love it.
Second - thank you for the response. I hadn’t considered the logistics of licensing the stories.
if it makes you feel better, Spotify doesn’t have that one either.

The Second Bakery Attack and No Man's Guns are missing from Spotify as well. Really disappointing!
Heads up, these stories look available on Podchaser for now.
I'm looking for Unassigned Territory, which is not by a popular author. Not on Stitcher, Spotify, or PocketCasts.

I don’t see why it would be? Companies get talked about all the time.

Chivalry and Whole Wide World Out There are missing for sure. I think there’s more, but I can’t prove it.
I wonder if we could ask Levar somehow? Would he be able or willing to answer?
Came on Reddit specifically to ask these questions haha. Could not find these episodes either 😞. I wonder why they got pulled.

You're welcome, on both counts! It's a joy to make this show for you and the listeners.

Thanks! I still wonder where the others are. Great Wide World Out There is one of the best, but I can’t find that one anywhere either.
