When Chris and I step into the recording studio, we record at least two episodes of TechStuff at a time. On some days, we’ll record three shows. We do this so that we have several episodes in reserve. If one of us goes on vacation or has a sick day, we’ll still have episodes to publish twice a week for all our loyal listeners.

But we don’t pick when each episode publishes. Those decisions fall to our wonderful production crew. You’ve heard us (and some of the other podcasters) mention these people in other episodes. Folks like Jeri, Matt, Tyler, Liz and Rachel work hard to make us sound good. They also schedule our shows for publication and write all the meta data. Their contributions are invaluable.

This week, two episodes featuring rants from yours truly went live. Now if I had been in charge of the publication schedule, I probably would have given you guys a break from my ire. But that was not meant to be. Don’t blame the production staff though — they think it’s funny when I get angry.
