OK, can you send me the recent log file entries in `skills.log` - I need these to be able to diagnose what’s happening.

Hi @Gary_Robinson, thanks for providing the log file.  
I had a good read through this, but couldn’t find any errors with;

- The NPR News Skill itself
- `mp3` playback - the NPR news feed is played using `mp3` and I thought there may be an error with `mp3` playback. is there any indication in your `audio.log` of `mp3` playback errors?
