The FIR #300 marathon coming

Whew! We just completed recording the 300th episode of For Immediate Release: The Hobson and Holtz Report.

Quite a marathon session which, as you’ll hear when it’s posted, contains many contributions from members of the FIR community to mark this milestone episode.

We want to make sure we include everyone’s contributions, which means a bit more time on editing than usual. It also means this show will be a bit longer than usual.

The show will be up today but not until sometime this evening California time.

It’ll be worth the wait, promise!
