So, if it has been nearly 60 days since the last Hardcore History show, it must be time for me to whine about deadlines.

I don't know how it happened, but the last few times we have had a Hardcore History show due, we have had a Common Sense show due on the same day. This time is no exception, and I am once again running around like a chicken with my head cut-off.

The mechanics of trying to organize the production of creative content is one of the most challenging aspects of podcasting (as any of you podcasters out there, I am sure, understand). When I was in radio, you were essentially improving all the time. If the show was sixty minutes long, that is how long it took to create the content.

A Hardcore History show though, is a different animal entirely. For us here, it is like doing a TV show (that's probably just the way we see it, being essentially radio folk around here. It looks like TV to us). It is a polished, researched and finished creative project that involves a lot of stuff that is definitely NOT improv. And when you break down the amount of time we have to devote to each Hardcore history episodes it boils down to about 14 days per show (yes...I know, everyone now wants to know why we don't get one out every 14 days! You know...it's all that OTHER stuff ya have to do in a podcasting business...the stuff "Ben" would probably be doing if he weren't so "busy").

Okay...whine session over. Thanks for listening. I have to get back to work. BOTH my podcasts are due....(soon to be overdue...)
