Summary
Apple Users- recent upgrades may have moved your download choices to a default setting- so if you miss 15 days or skip a few episodes it stops sending new ones. The FIX: Go to the three dots upper right in your episode- go to your show page- three dots again upper right- click-at bottom see "Downloads"- scroll to bottom- click on "download all new episodes". Problem solved. For Android phones find the "Gear" symbol- same process.
A wealthy man disappears after being seen leaving his home and Poirot bets Inspector Japp that he can solve it without leaving his office.

| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, The Welcome back everyone to 1001 classic short stories and tales. This is your |
| 0:45.5 | host John Haggadorn. Today another great story from Agatha Christie's |
| 0:49.6 | Poirot, this one called The Disappearance of Mr. Devgenheim. |
| 0:55.6 | And now Hastings will introduce us to the story. |
| 1:00.1 | Poiro and I were expecting our old friend Inspector Jap of Scotland Yard to tea. |
| 1:04.8 | We were sitting round the tea table awaiting the arrival. |
