Important update about the podcast schedule goin forward
Hey errybody. Skip to the TL;dr if you want the new schedule with no explanation.
So as anyone with eyes and ears can tell, our workload has gotten to be too much. As far as I can tell, we put out more content than any other podcast group on the PLANET. The recent mailbag basically had our current work-work balance as a central theme. Now, we're transitioning to a different schedule that we've planning for a while.
As it was, we did 4-5 BTD's, 4-5 Variety podcasts, 1 BBB/CCC, and 1 Chugging Bleach EVERY MONTH. That's 10-12 podcasts. We want to do The Podcast Devil (the Chainsaw Man podcast) weekly so we launched that but now we're talking about 14-17 podcasts a month.
So here are the changes. Chugging Bleach & the soon-to-launch Pokemon Go to the Movies series are now considered Variety Podcasts. They will take the slot of 1 Monday a month each. This means you still get 2-3 other Variety podcasts with the option from us (at our discretion) to do an extra if we feel like it and it works for us. Okay, with that done we're now 12-15 podcasts a month.
But how much does that really help? A lot, actually. The Podcast devil is much easier to record every week than our normal variety podcast. Our normal variety podcasts often require hours of prep time, and that's time we have to make for it outside of podcast day AND still more time on podcast day. Now we also don't have any weeks where 4 podcasts need to come out now except for the end of the month BBB/CCC.
TL;dr - Chugging Bleach & Pokemon Go to the Movies podcast are variety podcasts & 2 monday podcasts a month will be those. Every week you still get 1 BTD, 1 Variety Podcast, and 1 Chainsaw Man podcast and once a month patrons get the bonus CCC/BBB.

Yeah I'm fine with this!
Joining the comments I've already seen, you guys do great work and whatever makes it easier is absolutely worth it. I'm all for the new schedule
The less strain on you guys the better, your content is amazing and I will support it for as long as possible.
From my point of view we're going from 2 podcasts a week to 3 so it's just net benefit ! Holy shit three cakes !
Whatever you need to do to let yourselves rest and have more me time, Sirs.
I think you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone here opposed to this new schedule. The content you produce is always top quality and as someone who somewhat recently discovered how important proper daily sleep is, I'll always be in favor of more rest for you guys.
I actually love this because Chugging Bleach felt like it always erupted from the bushes to deliver my specific desires. So being able to discern Jin Kariya's plan ahead of time is great. Seriously you guys do so much work, I'm glad you have a good plan to lighten the load.
By all means, anything to give Dan a chance to play good ass games, like PS1 classic RPG Breath of Fire 3
You should probably lighten it a bit more. Seriously. Thank you for the great entertainment. But please don't overdo it.
Whatever you need to lighten your load, guys, the content's always stellar. Take care of yourselves!
I listen to y'all's podcasts all the time during my 30-to-and-from commute every day and even I have a hard time keeping up with it all. If anything this change will lighten your work load and let me get caught up on variety podcasts. Win-win as far as I'm concerned.
idc do whatever works for you man you work too much
