We sent out a post I think a few weeks ago saying that we're working on something and so the schedules a bit wonky this month; that maybe the regularity would be a bit irregular, which is to say that it wouldn't exist, although we've tried to make it so. Those are the facts. They remain the facts. But we're almost past those facts onto new ones. I can't say what the new facts are but you will find out next week, and then more---ahh---Nevermind!

I am forbidden from expressing to you anything beyond this, because that would spoil it, and while that might give you a quick tingle of excitement it would soon deflate into a feeling of nothingness (I mean it, this would happen in seconds) and then impatience would roil again. I don't want to roil anybody. I'm trying to be good.

Making a Pod Cast is weird sometimes because you want to do as good a job as possible---you are, after all, speaking to a large number of people, some of whom pay you. It can be daunting! My view is always to try to be as transparent as possible with what we're doing with the show. I am trying to do that without giving it away. This post is what's coming out. 

 Part of doing a show like this (really any show that isn't season based I guess) is that regularity is part of the appeal; people like to listen to a show that comes out the same day each week (or same days, whatever). It becomes part of their routine. I say "people" and "their", words like that but I do this too although I only listen to podcasts meant for 22 year old women at risk of alcohol poisoning so that I may better understand young people. But along with the contents of the show and sometimes the personality of the hosts a big part of podcasts appeal is regularity. I'm doing incisive media analysis here. Regularity does guarantee a larger listener and subscriber base---if you're a budding pod caster this is important to note!---but sometimes circumstances are such that you can't do it.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is---if you're making something that comes out with a certain regularity but you're working on something that takes what I think they call in the video game industry "crunch times" (I guess I would compare it in my own life to Valentines Day week or Mothers Day at the flower shops I toiled at) then you gotta crunch. This week we are crunching. Actually for several weeks we have been crunching but this week especially so. I have not slept much and we have travelled great distances and slunk in our seats to avoid head lights---We have been in Enemy Territory. We are returned now from Enemy Territory and are engaged in squeezing ourselves into the final stretch in the marathon. Then I will have my revenge. And we also have some good regular episodes coming up very soon. 

Thank you, we love you, we hope you like this thing.
