This week!

Hello POPulation!

So here's the deal-- the new schedule screwed a lot of people up, so we're going to be an episode short this week. We kicked things off with a new GBU, but that means no OTR this week. I'm super bummed about it, but we'll hopefully make it up next week.

We're also planning some titanic shifts with Elseworlds Exchange. The format, length, and frequency of the show will be the exact same as it usually is. But I'd like to try to incorporate the rest of the CP crew into the show as much as possible, so we're looking at possibly alternating episodes between me and Joel with Ben, Tiff, Ethan and myself. The only problem with that is that not everyone is available Wednesdays, so those alternating weeks might be Mondays or Fridays. Or another day, honestly. But rest-assured, we'll make a big announcement about any significant changes and when the alternating day's show will be, if we do that. I just wanted you guys to know we're routinely trying to come up with ways to improve.

I'm also looking into changing the look of a lot of sets. We've been in the studio since August and we had a very small window of time to get everything set up. But now that we do have everything in there, it occurs to me that we're thinking too small, and we're not making full use of the space. I think Back Issues is fine, but let's be honest-- that style of set was tested over the years thanks to a bunch of smart and talented women and men over at another channel. We'd like to try to make Off the Rack, Letters Page, Elseworlds, GBU, Comic Line, and more feel as intimate and professional as possible. So if you have any thoughts, now's the time to share them!

Back Issues this week is Marvel Knights Spider-Man. The reason is because we have a nice buffer building with the series, and it takes a long time to cut the show. With the numbering system in place, it kind of makes things stuck, and it hinders coordinating books with movie releases and the like. So I think we're probably going to drop the numbering of episodes around episode 200. That might be the way it has to be. No better solution has presented itself, and I honestly think anyone complaining will forget about the issue after the first two episodes.

Letters Page is ready to go Friday, of course.

Thank you to everyone who makes this so rewarding every single day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us and allowing us to experiment and grow.

Talk to you soon!
