Strange! I'll take a look and see what I find.

This is a direct link to Episode 1500 as json and it's not returning errors for me. What method are you using for pulling down from the API?

So the error comes earlier (because I had to search for pageID by episode number) So this is the query I'm having troubling parsing. Again, this is probably something I'm just missing so don't feel like you have to take too much time on it.

This appears to be where the problem is coming in (where i equals the episode number I'm searching). For all but ~20 episodes, I can parse this text, and get an episode ID number and use that episode ID number to query the actual episode page
