The timing makes no difference to me personally, but I would like to add that the comments, and the enthusiasm they represent, are truly heartwarming. This is now the center of my media universe. I don't do SM, that's social media, or, if you prefer... Today's column by Paul Krugman is a new low for the Times, and the last television show I watched, I believe, was the pilot for "I Love Lucy". So, I'm awfully grateful for this opportunity to think.

A wonderful intellectual community is forming and I'm honored to be part of its genesis.

I personally love to listen after my work day Friday, so it doesn’t matter to me. I’ll be listening regardless.

I’ll take it when I can get it. Definitely high on my list of favorites.

No preference as to when it’s released from my end. I usually listen at some point over the weekend

No preference on timing here--I often save it to listen on the weekends while I'm working around the house. Also, no preference on when transcripts are published. I'm just thrilled you guys do all of this. I love this podcast and look forward to it each week. Please keep it up!

I'm retired so it matters not to me, both with regard to the podcast and the transcript release. I usually listen on Saturday morning. It takes me back to all those years I listened to Car Talk on NPR on Saturday mornings, except with less car and more politics, books, etc.❤

I am a transcript person. As soon as you can get that out would be great. Thanks for asking.

No preference for me. I really look forward to what you guys have to say any time.

My only request is to get the transcript as soon as possible. I prefer listening (you guys are great!), but sometimes just can’t find the time. The transcript is something less than listening, but is better than missing out completely. Thanks!

Could the show tweet or share here the name of the short story before the release? I like to read the story and then listen to your show.

Appreciate the earlier release!

Matt and Walter, I LOVE your podcast and look forward to it every Friday. So, the earlier the better, as far as I am concerned! Just keep it coming... Oh and BTW, I've read every book/story you've reviewed so far. Great stuff!

The only timing that matters is giving us a chance to read the story ahead.

I dig the transcriptions more than the pod (i like to read). So the sooner the better for that

Doesn’t matter. I haven’t missed a single one!

I only read the transcript’s so it would be great to release (consistently) at same time.
