U&F 45 Update
Hello Listeners. Because I suspect many people might be popping back here regularly to check for the arrival of Episode 45, I thought it only polite to give you an update.
Episode 45 is HUGE. It's easily the biggest podcast episode I've ever produced; the story content alone runs to over an hour, making it double the length of an average episode. I'm still working on the story audio content - making sure every moment of recording is absolutely the best it can be. But once that's done, I have some important notices to write about and record for the outro which relate to the future of Underwood and Flinch - and details of a forthcoming project that will involve you (I hope) in that future. There will also be a bumper Planet U&F because lots of you wanted to get in at the last minute before U&F ends (no more recordings, please - we're completely full up!)
This massive workload is (understandably) taking a long time to produce, but add to this the fact that next week, my wife and are moving apartment again! (3rd time since U&F started) So there'll be a lot of packing up and trucking about. And then, the week after that, I'll be offline.
So, while I hope to get the episode live next week (in between packing and moving), I can't guarantee it. So it may be another two weeks before the episode goes live. I know that has you wailing and punching the computer screen, but console yourself with the knowledge that when it does come, it's double the size of a normal episode, so if you have to wait double the length of time, the pay off is proportionate.
I could, of course, rush it ... but then the episode would be cr*p, so rushing it would be a really stupid thing to do.
Have patience, people. It'll be worth the wait

Still waiting...
Mike, Waiting for the episode 45 of Underwood & Flinch has been a study in sweet excruciating patience. Nevertheless, I agree that quality has to take precedence for this episode... "big finish" and all that sort of thing. Two back-to-back events are going to happen once you release episode 45. The first is that I shall draw the blinds, take the phone off the hook, pour myself a large draught of the best single malt in house, slap on the headphones and kick back in a comfy chair to savour every thrilling word of the concluding episode of volume one. Subsequent to that, just following the closing words of episode 45 and knowing that it may be countless months before I hear anything more of U&F, I'll descend into a severe fit of podcast withdrawal depression. In fact, I'll be lucky if I don't fling myself under the first passing bus. Ahhhh, but those are the risks we devoted listeners take when under the spell of Lord Underwood. Keep up the good work, Sir!Stay away from that bus!
Thanks, Ignatz. But STAY AWAY FROM THAT BUS!!! The moon will rise again over Underwood and Flinch - and I'm counting on you to be there to welcome it when it does
