There's a problem with the iTunes podcast directory – I didn't get the Susie Napper interview downloaded and when I went to look at the list, there's nothing for this year at all! Ho hum…
Sorry about the problems you had encountered at iTunes Store regarding the Naxos Classical Music Spotlight podcast. There was a problem with the feed on Friday but was later corrected. May I please ask you to try again. If you continue to experience problems please feel free to contact us at customer.service@naxos.com

really enjoyed this podcast – which is the movement in St Matthew's Passion that Susie was referring to? (The one with the cello solo.)
Hi Martin, Thanks for you email. I will get the exact movement from Suzie Napper and get back to you.

Thanks so much for Viola di Gamba podcast – never heard of (a) the composer or
(b) the performer, and knew nothing about (c) the instrument. I fell in love
with the music, and promptly bought the disc on iTunes and have been unable to
stop playing!
Hi Alec, I'm glad you liked the podcast. I find the sound of the gamba almost seductive, especially the way Susie Napper and Margaret Little play. The instrument has a kind of expressiveness most often associated with the human voice – for me it has that kind of quality.
