Sorry if this has been discussed already but I am new to EP.  I have noticed, because I am sharp like that, that the last EP was posted on 2-28-10.  What is the usual schedule? looking back it appears to have been weekly.  What's the deal?

Hi, welcome aboard:)

Steve and his wife are the proud parents of a new baby daughter who arrived a few weeks ago.  As far as I know, that's why the schedule's off.  New stuff is undoubtedly on the way:)

Yes, but I'm also an infidel so really I'm an all-purose nonbeliever.

Also, Welcome.

Thanks guys, you can imagine after having just discovered EP I have been waiting impatiently for a new story.  I suppose a new baby is *kind of* a decent excuse.

But the good thing is that, as a new guy, you have hours and hours of backlog to discover.  I am jealous.

You think that's good, I also love horror and like fantasy well enough... After finding the various escape artists podcasts I am having a pretty good month.

Speaking of backlog, I have no idea how bit torrent works, could someone point me to a page where I can get up to speed and get the EP backlog DL'ed

Download this, download the .torrent file, and then open the .torrent with uTorrent.

or bit torrent, or azureus (vuze), or a multitude of other programs :P

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

I'm not... I recently picked up on three podcasts that go back to 2005 and apparently have the complete backlog in their feeds.  I'm swamped; I'm doing pretty good to get in just a couple of old episodes in a week while still keeping current with all the 'casts I listen to.

[edit]
...or, if new listener has time to spare for catching up with the backlog, I guess I am envious.

I have a half hour commute to and from work but I have to figure out which other podcasts to basically stop listening to for like a year.  I am happy but it is quite a project ahead of me.
