Lateness Update: Luke’s An Idiot

As you surely know, both After The Fact and Trade Secrets have been delayed for quite some time. There have been many reasons for this round of delays, but this latest delay can be traced to one simple problem: Luke’s an idiot.

You see, Luke is off galavanting around Europe on vacation right now. During his vacation, he’d said he’d cut out some time to get both shows edited and posted. Now, we find out, that Luke forgot some of the critical components to the shows, and thus can’t finish the edits while he’s over there. Moron.

Which means that there will be one more week of delays, but no more. The most recent episodes of After The Fact and Trade Secrets will be posted during the week of August 6-10 – no more excuses, no more delays. We will make every effort going forward for both shows to get back on schedule and come out in a timely, bi-weekly fashion.

We sincerely apologize to all of our listeners for the problems recently, and we appreciate your support and listenership.
