Due to a technical problem with YouTube, this month it was not possible to extract the audio of the podcast to be transcribed. Therefore the only alternative to listen to what was said is to watch the original video of the recording included in the podcast blog post.

Please accept our apologies but this problem was caused by situation with YouTube that we do not have any control. We hope that this situation does not repeat in future episodes of the podcast.

Thank you for understanding. See you on the next episode of the podcast.
