Our episode on Against the Day, Chapters 24-25 is done and will be out Friday. I wasn’t kidding when I said it’d be a long one—just over 4.5 hours of raw audio trimmed down to right at 4 hours. So stuff yrself with turkey tomorrow, then with our savory discussion!

I've said it before and I will keep saying it: Against the Day pairs incredibly well with the music of Hermanos Gutierrez, especially the Western sections of the book.

Crisis (mostly) averted! I managed to recover the audio, but there are some issues that came up ostensibly during recording. Most obviously, the audio speeds up at times, but it was too good a conversation to force a re-do

Managed to get one hour of the newest episode done, then went to do other stuff. Came back to keep working and now I can't get the project to load, so I have to start all over. Gonna do my best to get this thing finished by this Friday, but it may not happen

I wasn’t able to record with the group yesterday and they ended up talking about Chapter 22 of Against the Day for over four hours. I’m supremely jealous and looking forward to listening while I edit it
