Missing Bungie Podcasts

Hi HBO Community,

I've recently listened through the intact episodes of The Bungie Podcast indexed (but not _mirrored_) at places like Apple Podcasts and ultimately from https://www.bungie.net/podcast/bungiepodcast.xml, which is blessedly still retrievable, somehow, despite Bungie's evolution. Curiously, though, episodes from 2014 cannot be downloaded from downloads.bungie.com (or downloads.bungie.net) and return a stock 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied error page from a Microsoft Windows IIS Web server. These episodes also weren't successfully archived by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, unlike most of the episodes preceding 2014, for reasons that I won't speculate about for brevity.

I thought to post here on HBO because, quite curiously, one episode referenced in the podcast's XML feed is hosted on an apparent HBO server at http://bpc.bungie.org/Bungie_Podcast_103108.mp3 (which redirects to the same path but on bpc3.bungie.org). So whether HBO staff or other community members might have ideas about finding the files for 2014 episodes, I thought I'd post here and see what comes back.

Unlike the golden age of the 2000s and early 2010s, it's very difficult to get Web servers like downloads.bungie.com/.net or files.bungie.org to give up a listing of the available files by searching the Web for "Index of...", so it's been difficult to discover what's still out there. I'm trying to build a complete collection of the podcast files, perhaps to later upload as a proper Collection at the Internet Archive in the interest of preservation and ease of access. I personally have thoroughly enjoyed the insights and stories memorialized in these now quite-dated episodes, having not really been aware of the podcast or bungie.net while Bungie still developed Halo titles.

Thanks much for your consideration!
