Shouldn't be, though there sometimes is a delay on episodes by a couple days depending. For instance, B&R should post on the Wednesday after, and WWW should post on the Friday after. Each should be available by 6AM Eastern. However, if JPink is out of town (like last week) or he sees something shiny then it might get delayed a couple extra days. You should see the latest episode of B&R posted this morning on the podcast feed.
I wonder if other industries are similar to the green industry in that there are a bunch of old timers gate-keeping and just shitting all over anyone actually building a business.
Sure are. Plenty of secret keeping. Plenty of people so arrogant they forgot where they started. I was often asked as a child "can you walk on water like Moses?" if you cannot, better drop that attitude. Me poking at someone struggling would be met with the question "are you perfect?"
