One of the reasons that writers are, as a whole, having a hard time at the moment is that they’re flaky – they make bad economic decisions because they get bored quickly; they trust people they shouldn’t; and they go with their guts rather than with their brains. True? Or a caricature?

This seems to be the recording from Monday the 16th. Thought you might like to know.

Whoops, bad mistake, now corrected. Should call this episode “Are Podcast Producers Flaky?” The feed itself will not re-download the correct episode, i.e. if you’ve already got the feed via iTunes, that’s that. Any new downloads, however, from now on will get the correct show. Best thing to do is to listen to this particular show on the website.
