Happy Monday! You may have noticed that extended podcast episodes have been posted inconsistently. Sometimes this is due to the amount of available content on each episode and often it’s due to the amount of editing and work necessary to produce an extended episode of the podcast — since often we record out of order. I have heard from many of you that you’d prefer a set release time for these extended episodes so you know when to tune in and so you don’t listen to the same material twice, which I want to deliver on! So, I am proposing three potential solutions below -- and am asking for your input in which solution you prefer:

#1: Extended Podcast posted on either Monday evening or Tuesdays, with all extra content recorded that week at the end of each episode in its own "extra" segment. For example, the test recording, episode titles, etc., would all be on their own segment, similar to how we did our original monthly Patreon episodes.

#2: Extended Podcasts posted on either Wednesdays or Thursdays, with extra content added in chronologically -- as originally recorded. For example, the test recording would be at the beginning.

#3: Abandon extended episodes and return to monthly format of just including all the extras on one monthly episode.

Please let us know if you have any comments or ideas for extra OPP content!

I gave my vote but was curious as to what you’d prefer to do.

I'd prefer the Monday release cuz I normally listen to the podcast around noon every Wednesday, and the extended versions tend to release in the evening that day, so I still end up listening twice.

Gave my vote, but am okay with whatever is most accommodating for Zach!

I've listened to these while working for 7 years, it's been an interesting transition since you guys switched to Sunday's, since back in the day I'd be off Tuesday when the pod would drop and would listen on Wednesday. Nowadays just as I started getting used to Monday casts you started the extra segment cast, now I don't personally mind the double dipping as it's an extra work shift I can kill but I can see others issues. Personally I prefer when the segments flow naturally into the bts one's. Honestly I'd kind of prefer a totally behind the scenes cast with the segments played as they are recorded, I feel that would help make the two podcasts feel different while also taking the stress of re-editing off of you Zach
