    The focal person declined to have their life published on the internet. If Tim asks if you have heard it, just say yes out of respect for the person's wishes. When we recorded, I asked dad if he received permission to do a podcast on them and he said that he had. When he was talking about the person's life though, I realized that I would not be comfortable if someone shared similar details. I contacted the person and had them preview the episode and they very politely declined having it published. My father is having a hard time understanding this so please just tell him that the podcast is posted as he is unable to hear the details behind its absence.
