On Monday, my second little Øredev week starts. I will be releasing my interviews with Øredev keynote speakers, one per day from Monday to Friday. It was fun and surprisingly fast to edit and process all five of them. I did them all together, and it definitely feels like I gained some kind of benefits of scale.
(It certainly did not hurt that each interview was shorter than the average episodes. I think the procrastrination side of my mind always assumes an episode of any podcast I edit will be an hour or more.)
I just need to finish up the list of links and - I think - polish the episode descriptions a little bit. It will be interesting to see what download numbers look like when there are suddenly five episodes in one week rather than the usual single one. When I released two episodes in one week a few weeks back, both got standard download numbers. I would expect that pattern to hold, but you never know. Perhaps less regular listeners will save the later episodes until they have listened to the first one? Perhaps a flood will scare people off? Let us know in the comments, as they say!
Unfortunately, the actual video recordings of the keynotes will not be out in time. I feel the interviews stand fairly well on their own, as appetizers of sorts for the actual keynotes, but it would of course have been nicest to have links to each keynote be available right away for those wishing to dig in more.
Almost halfway to Christmas Eve, and almost one third of the way through December … but I feel reasonably in sync with that. No huge question marks or big rocks between now and the holidays as far as I can see, and the calendar is neither too full nor too empty. Even the Christmas tree question should be sorted out within the next few days.
