I think they have bigger issues right now. They seem to be struggling just to consistently put out lessons at all now :/

I have issues with this too...it's hard finding books on it...everything is in yale. There are a few apps and things though that are helpful. ChiDin is quite good. It will give you words and radicals in both the jyutping and pinyin. You can search in English or Chinese which is really helpful. If you pay for this site you get some good tools in jyutping as well....though the character writer is still broken. tilespeak.com has a mahjong game you can play with several hundred characters...it can be set to jyutping. If you find more please list them....I would love even finding a textbook.

They're both Yue languages and are related, but I think if you want to learn Taishanese you'll simply have to spend a lot of time with the people there. From what I understand it's going to be a bit like knowing one Latin based language (French, Spanish, Italian)and then learning another.
I also found some material out there....there are some youtube videos as well...I'm sure with a search you can find a bit more.

I think I've figured out the problem. It seems to be related to multiple download locations... unfortunately I had to delete everything relating to popup Cantonese and let the website launch itunes to redownload it all...which seems to have fixed 99% of the issues. For all the episodes with transcripts the transcripts quickly replace the information about the podcast...though this can still be viewed in the pdfs in ibook. So yeah to other paid subscribes I would suggest downloading everything through this sites subscription link and not through your devices or through itunes directly. I'm using the latest iOS on a touch 4th generation.
