Starting tomorrow, the “daily format” is coming back – for 12 days at least.
The Overnightscape has gone through a bunch of different formats over the years – weekly, daily, 1-hour, 2-hour, 30-minute, unlimited, etc. Lately the show has been in the “Completely Unlimited” format – in which shows of any length can come out any time. This upcoming series of 12 twenty-minute shows is still in the “Completely Unlimited” format – but depending on how the experiment turns out, it could lead to a new format.
This is not the “Secret Project” I’ve been talking about, though it is certainly related.
My motivation for this new “experiment” is that I think shorter, more frequent episodes could make it easier for new listeners to get into the show. And the way I do my post-production these days could make a daily show a lot easier for me to do than it was in the past.
I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this series!!

My ADD-addled brain looks forward in great anticipation to this new experiment.
I have an idea. How about we download 10 different 5 minute segments at a time and use shuffle mode.
