Warning, this file size is bigger than usual because of how I recorded it.  If it's skipping a lot, you may want to pause the video right at the beginning and let it load more of the video before trying to watch.  Or alternatively you may want to download via itunes and watch offline.   I compressed it as much as I was able to given the tools I had, I will try to look into other options for future episodes.
