'tis true, 'tis true, I thought ahead enough to schedule the release of episode 1 at midnight EST this morning, but I did NOT think to look into any sort of automated posting of that fact to this very page, and then I had gone to bed before midnight.
B-U-T
Episode 1 of Dirty Pair: Project Pod is available, has been all day at this point. You can find it below, or you can find it in the podcast retrieval program or service of your own choosing, as long as that choice isn't Stitcher.
Rest assured that I am e'en now hard at work editing the next episode, which is scheduled to appear on May 18th.
