I edited the previous post to include [a header with identifying information] before the video [...]
It is generally a good idea to include such material when posting videos of "Part of the Problem" (POTP) episodes - or any videos of any kind, for that matter.
For one thing, doing so provides additional information and context for the video beyond just the thumbnail image, which may help people to better judge whether it is relevant to their interests and something they want to spend any time listening to.
More importantly, though - and this applies specifically to POTP videos - only the 20 or so most recent episodes of POTP are made publicly available via YouTube
[1], Apple Podcasts, etc. This means older episodes will "disappear" after some time. This will result in non-functional YouTube video embeds that display a "Video unavailable / This video is private" message. Once that happens, if no additional information was provided, then the video might as well not have been posted at all. But by including the additional header material (especially the episode number), it is at least possible to use that extra information to seek out other sources for the episode. For example, an mp3-format audio archive of POTP episodes going back to episode #468 can be found here:
https://namelyliberty.com/source/news/dave-smith/. (That's far back enough to cover all the episodes since this thread started.) And I would presume that all episodes of POTP are available in some format via subscription to POTP's distributor,
GaS Digital Network
I've considered cleaning up this thread by deleting all the "video unavailable" posts for which no additional identifying information was provided, but I decided against it, just in case any of those "privated" videos ever become publicly available again for whatever reason.
[1] As far as I know, POTP isn't (officially) distributed on any other video platforms, such as Odysee or Rumble.
