Delays are what we’re good at!

One of the best ways to delay Better Radio is to hire Russell and Rob and keep them all employed and distracted and paid.  And wouldn’t you just know it, it’s things like that which have caused us to reschedule Better Radio Live for November.

With just the tiniest bit of luck, we hope to have that live show for you to watch or listen to online next month, and who knows, maybe the final two episodes of season 1 will drop before the ball on New Year’s Eve…

Next week is a big one for Better Radio.  Why?  Because we’ve got almost a dozen terrific actors booked to come in and record with us all the way through show #10!

Of course, it may take us a spell to get those fine radio goods directly to you.  If anyone ever asked what we were doing in the meantime, we’d show them the same short film we’re about to show you.  

From Russell August Anderson and Rob Schultz, purveyors of this very podcast: TIME PHONE!

July has tied for first place as the biggest month in Better Radio episode download history.  Both thanks and welcome to our new listeners, or repeated thanks to a suspicious few dedicated repeat-download superfans.
We’ve even had two new listeners grab the full set of shows so far today.  It embiggens the soul.
