What the Heck is Happening?!
Added 2021-09-20 16:01:17 +0000 UTCAll right gang, some of you have started to noticed we've been missing in action. From the public side of things, releases kept coming but emails, DMs, and extras like the podcast have disappeared.
The short story is the contemporary plague finally wandered through the studio and dealt an uneven hand of damage to various members of the team. Most unfortunately, it smashed down mid-filming of the next set of episodes.
We're doing what we can to re-orient, however, it's likely we're going to miss at least one release and this has devastated the last months of attempting to fix the calendar. We're being constrained by a health recovery schedule now, which isn't very predictable.
We apologize for the delay and hope you can remain patient with this setback. We'll update everyone as soon as standard production has begun again.
Also be aware, our inboxes are overflowing and poorly monitored at the the moment. We appreciate any well wishes or criticisms but our response time is going to sadly be slow!
Thank you all,
Othais

Hey Othias and Mae, Every podcast I listen to only a few letters, and have burning questions and comments to send in but am not finding an address to do so. If you are guessing that I am not a tech savvy ‘Boomer’ you guessed correctly, but before you lambast me you have us to thank for the greatest classic rock the world has known and all that cool stuff from the 70s and 80s! 🦊

2025-02-23 23:23:52 +0000 UTCHave you not read about all the folks who got fully vaccinated and STILL got Covid? Hell some of those vaccines are only 60% effective at best.
William Christensdn
2021-10-29 08:09:28 +0000 UTCGlad to hear y'all are recovering. An associate through one of my car clubs got it and 4 days after going to the hospital he passed away. It's an unpredictable little bugger ...
Ian F
2021-09-30 18:43:24 +0000 UTCFirst, I hope you get better quickly. Second, I assume you are not sick with chicken pox, rubella, smallpox, whooping cough, tetanus, flu, shingles, or any of the 30 or so diseases that we have a vaccine for. Oh, wait! I hear we've had a vaccine against COVID 19 for over 8 months. WTF were you thinking? The vaccine also helps protect people who have had COVID19 from getting it again. So, slap your forehead and when you are all better, get vaccinated!

2021-09-28 14:31:52 +0000 UTCHope you guys are on the road to recovery

David Burnham
2021-09-21 23:37:18 +0000 UTCSpeaking personally, I fully support you taking time off to get well. I'd also say as a long COVID enjoyer, make sure you eat right and get rest even if it's not too bad at the time.

2021-09-21 13:58:42 +0000 UTCNot surprised you're all suffering the f/x; y'all have been burning the candle at both ends for *ages* trying to keep up to a brutal schedule. Zinc, vitamin C (not at the same time!), rest & sunshine. We'll all be here when y'all start feeling better.

Agostino Ventura
2021-09-20 17:39:45 +0000 UTCSorry to read that y'all got struck with it. Wishing you all a swift and full recovery and please, for the love of Gun Jesus (or whatever else you might hold sacred) look after your health first: you have sacrificed enough of it already to keep this show running and this virus is a nasty one with a long tail. Everything else can be recovered or re-oriented once y'all are able again. I've been waiting for months to have an actual comfy chair: I'm sure I can handle a couple weeks for Primer. Be safe and look after each other over there. My thoughts are with you.
Benjamin de Groot
2021-09-20 17:36:38 +0000 UTCThank you for the update. I will be mentally filling any production problems under "natural disaster; could not be helped." I hope YT does not punish you for any missed releases.

I can’t speak for anyone else but I would be more than happy for you to miss a couple of uploads or replace the usual primer episodes with shorter or simpler videos, especially at a time like this.
Alan Munro

2021-09-20 17:26:33 +0000 UTCYou need to take care of your health first. We will be okay with delayed episodes. I know you have fought hard to ensure you hit the schedule that was set in place so I'm sure this stresses you out.

Erdanya
2021-09-20 16:12:17 +0000 UTC😢It seems you can never catch a break - every time you get the schedule sorted something like this happens. (I'm convinced it's agents of the Youtube Algorithm plotting against you!) You guys focus on recovering and gathering your strength before trying to catch up again. It can take a _long_ time to fully recover even after the initial symptoms have receded. Stay safe and a speedy recovery to all. We'll still be here when you're ready to return.
Michael Stringer
