New RLMS: John Bull
Jul. 1st, 2023 01:28 pmWhen Lisa and I were in Washington DC for DisCon, we managed to get one day at the Smithsonian's Transportation Museum, and there we were able to see and photograph John Bull, the oldest operable steam locomotive in the world. (It last steamed in 1981, aged 150 years old.) This month's episode talks about this locomotive.
For some reason, this video ended up with about ten extra minutes of blank video followed by an extra copy of of the credits. I'm loathe to fix it and re-upload it, though, because it would reset the view counter.
Also (and I don't think this has anything to do with the glitch), this is the first episode that I uploaded in advance. I uploaded it a couple of days ago with it set to go live today on the first of the month. This is important for next month's episode, because we'll be on the road. On August 1, we expect to be in Winnipeg, having just come back from Churchill the previous evening, and about to hit the road westbound. I'd rather not have to worry about whether the hotel wi-fi has enough bandwidth to let me upload the episode. If all goes as planned, I should have that episode edited (we've already shot the talk-to-camera piece) before we leave for Winnipeg, so I can upload it from home and set it to release on August 1.
