Hi, all. I said all these in the ad break in the Power Rangers episode, but I am writing here to notify anyone who didn’t get that message that GEE is going on a small hiatus. Glen is out of town until May, for one thing, but also I am just really beat and I need to not make podcasts for a hot second.
As you may know, this podcast is in some ways a one-man show. I don’t say that to downplay Glen’s role as cohost, but I do 100 percent of the research as well as 100 percent of the producing and editing solo, and I’ve just found myself in a situation where as soon as I finish one episode, I have to get going on the next. As a result, I have been having trouble finding time to get non-podcast-related stuff done. And while I’m using Glen being away to catch up on other stuff, I have been batting around the idea of going to a biweekly format for a while. I know there are some of you who have been patiently waiting for online exclusive content, but unfortunately, I don’t at the moment see a way to do that without putting out fewer regular episodes.
The alternative, I suppose, would be outsourcing the editing to someone else, but I’m not sure that would work since all the clips we use go in after the fact — not part of the original recording, like Talking Simpsons does.
I’ve also not yet redone the tiers we offer here on Patreon, and I was thinking about maybe doing that in a way that could accommodate people who want extras but maybe aren’t wild about getting fewer regular episodes.
In the end, I am fine — or as close to that as any sane person could hope to be — but also am really relieved to get away from podcast work for a short time.
Thoughts?
