Ooops

There used to be a video here, but the thirsty traveler doesn’t want you to see it. Sorry. They partnered with a company that asked me to promote the show for free, which I did. Now they don’t need us (so they say) and told us our use of the videos was unauthorized. Yet, they gave us implied right to use it by sending us their code. Embed codes were also available to all on the partner site.

We holler shenanigans.

Anyway we have more videos from producers that would be happy to let you watch.

Cheers!
