We've got a @btsheetspod.bsky.social audio update up on the free feed that lays out our roadmap for how we're getting back to posting new content in the coming days, starting on the Patreon. (Also @davidbix.bsky.social's current comfort song becomes even more obvious.) redcircle.com/shows/f0ecb9...

The other next step, besides posting an update of some kind on the Patreon because I realize I never actually posted anything other than on social media, is probably to record a quick audio update of some kind so there's something in the RSS feed. IDK if it'll be solo or w/ @kriszellner.bsky.social.

It's nothing embarrassing or anything like that, but being that I still don't really know what's going on, it doesn't seem like there's any point in giving more details for now. If you're able to, please continue to support the Patreon, but as always we understand if you need to take a month off.

More candidly, whatever is going on has left me exhausted and needing to lie down after longer phone calls with friends and family members. So the next move is probably to find the right day this week to see if @kriszellner.bsky.social can carry me through a Patreon show recording and go from there.

Update 🧵 Re: @btsheetspod.bsky.social: I'm not going to get into all the details, but I've been getting repeated conflicting assessments from different doctors about what's been causing the symptoms that's made it difficult for me to do the podcast. Hoping to have more answers relatively soon. 1/?

Since we hadn't given an official update: @davidbix.bsky.social has been dealing with an emergency that disrupted the already planned disruptions to the schedule. As soon as that's fully dealt with, things should start to get back to normal.

Yes, we're aware of the editing issues with the WWF section on the latest episode. Will attempt to dig in to the master files later and repost a fixed version. (Barring something weird like missing files for the corrected version of the segment.)
