Gremlins in the Machine

We regret to inform you that a small but determined population of gremlins has taken up residence in the podcast. Wires have been chewed, files have been mysteriously renamed, and at least one microphone has filed a formal complaint.

We’re working on eviction. It’s slower going than we’d like — gremlins are notoriously bad at reading notices — so the next episode is going to need a bit more time than usual.

Apologies for the delay. As soon as the last one has been escorted off the premises, we’ll be back with a fresh episode for your ears.

Thanks for your patience.

Listener Challenge
How many gremlins do you reckon it takes to derail one podcast episode? Closest guess gets a shout-out when we’re back on the air. Bonus points for sending in your own tales of tech that turned on you — most cursed story will be read out.

Disclaimer: No gremlins were harmed in the making of this delay. Several Tech Docs, however, were mildly inconvenienced.
