We’re changing the show schedule and will be recording three times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Live shows 4:30pm EST!
We feel that this is the most optimal way for us to deliver the best quality show – period. Plus it gives us more time to study and work on other shows/podcasts/projects.
