Series of Daily 20-Minute Episodes Coming

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!!
