Tom shares the Editor’s Desk with non-patrons today since it’s a holiday in the US. He answers the following questions:Thank you for sharing the interview from the Kilowatt Podcast with Jeremy Michalek. I liked having that in my feed, but I wanted to know if you have any specific criteria before sharing another podcast with the DTNS audience. I know that Bodie is part of the extended DTNS family, but are there other podcasts or people you have on a shortlist?Love the show!– Howard------sTimSo with Apple Podcasts implementing chapter markers, does that improve or lessen the chances the rest of us will ever get them for DTNS (and Cordkillers)? Pretty please???----------I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I'm loving the new format. DTNS Briefing is great, and encapsulates everything I loved about pre-2025 DTNS (holy cow, I just started to type Buzz Out Loud instead of DTNS. I must really need my coffee this morning! Or else I'm just really living in the past as I revisit various incarnations of the show in my mind). I even dip in on the other "main feed" shows that are a little more free-form. I love having this separation. I write because I want to express how much I love it, but hearing that the numbers were down a bit last month for my format of choice, I just wanted to express that love even more. Tim
