BONUS EPISODE? I can tell you are getting excited about wrapping up this course. I think this is your best course ever. You really have a marvelous knack for this; so, I hope you never tire of it. I want to request a bonus episode showing us--or at least getting us started--playing video podcasts! For a future course, I want to suggest a functional--not just an UI--ePub reader. Great course!

Hi brain tx a lot for these awesome videos. I have a small feedback to share. If you search ex. Daily show with trevor noah, u will see that theres some <p> tage <p> coming in the description section and I have also checked out the json data, the podcast doesn't have any feedURL. If u can enlighten me how to fix it, it would be really great.

Hi Brian, thanks so much once again for putting together such a comprehensive course. I may have discovered a bug here that you may have overlooked, and I apologize if this is my oversight: It appears that I'm allowed to download an episode of a particular podcast multiple times (i.e. we are not checking for duplicates). If I continuously swipe an episode from the EpisodesController UITableView, and click download each time, and then go to the DownloadsController, I see the multiple downloads that I've made. I'm bringing this up because you did not list this as one of the challenges at the end of this episode. Could you provide a fix for this? Thanks once again for your hard work!

Hi Brain! I've very quick question. You declare globlly variable for episodes and fro refresh data you overwrite again with same line to refresh list. Correct me if i'm wrong. I think it is dupication. What if we only place that line in viewWillAppear and after that reload data?

Hi Brian! I know this question will be out of topic, but i really need help. Beside learning from the course I'm doing side project with Odoo.com They provide API with XML-RPC. If it's possible could you please help me to figure out how to implement that?

You should do a video showing all the behind the scenes work you do to make each one of these videos. Do you use a version control or something to move ahead in code then come back for the tutorial?

So does this JSONDecoder perform the same function as NSKeyedUnarchiver or is it different?

The challenges are a great idea. You should incorporate those as much as possible!

How can we download the video files for offline viewing?

Hi. In func downloadEpisodes(), how did you know to construct JSONDecoder() to get JSONDecoder().decode(type: Decoable.Protocol, from: Data)? I only ask because I was accidentally writing my code as JSONDecoder.decode(self: JSONDecoder) and it took me a minute to notice I need to construct the JSONDecoder. Thanks!

Hi. Why do we sometimes add .self after a Type? Example: [Episode].self

Brian you're fire bro!
