I agree I have never run across that before. What is the reasoning for that
do you think. Is it some way to protect it?

I'm sorry but, they ruined this by making us download it in 15 parts. I
don't normally publicly advocate piracy but some kind soul with too much
time on their hands should put this all together in one file, export it to
MP3, post it, and send it back to them. They could have at least offered us
a link to listen as one complete stream.

> on greater challenges, including rock climbing,
> while finishing college and starting his teaching career.
> While teaching, Erik met and fell in love with a
> colleague, Ellie. They married and moved to
> Denver. After conquering numerous major peaks, Erik decided
> to confront his biggest challenge yet -- Mount
> Everest, the world's highest peak. Along the

> Everest, quite literally the top of the world.
