Maybe complaining helps. Sound has returned. Many thanks
Here it begins again. No audio. I had sound for first few minutes then got superimposed msg saying “cannot be completed Substack. Error error O). Am i the target or is it your posts ? I appreciate your posts & the honest appraisal of the Ukrainian situation as i find too much bias in other reporting. Unfortunately the truth doesn’t seem a priority in Substack these days. I’ll keep trying to access your work.
