Is Christmas a good day to drop a long pod? I can't decide if no one will be listening or if everyone will.

I vote drop it. And not just because I look like Santa.

The friday after would be—big travel day for a lot of folks.

With the kind of eating and drinking that usually goes on during the Xmas eve parties, I think it's pretty normal to drop a long pod on Xmas morning.

I don’t know. But after years of using a free subscription, I just decided to pay you for you work. You are a great writer, you seem a cool human being and I listen/read your work all the time! Congrats for everything, I hope enough people are helping you make a living out of it. Merry Christmas!

Thanks Jeff, that's very kind!

I would guess a mixed bag. Some gathering with family may not be listening, but others with limited holiday distractions would.

Thought that meant something else for a second.

As someone whose job it is to consume media on the energy transition, Christmas is a day I get to unplug.

I'll appreciate it as long as it's not topical. I always have a huge purge of queued pods around big events.

like I only got to a portion of election pods before the election and then just cleared them all out after. same with "2024 retrospective" pods.
