666 M3U (useful for streaming in some situations)

Episode 666 is insane. It is 3 hours and 32 33 minutes long. I am still working on post-production. I will try and release it by Tuesday or Wednesday. The daily shows will be stopping for now.

In other news, I made major progress in the “secret project” this weekend. I am over 50% done with the first one of it. But the release is still a few weeks away.

I’ve been releasing the 24-minute shows 7 days a week for awhile now, but I am going to change to 5 days a week (at least for the near future). The show is still officially in the “Completely Unlimited Format”, and I still consider the daily shows “experimental”. Once the “secret project” is revealed (hopefully within the next few weeks) I will try and settle on a new format for The Overnightscape.
