Podcast schedule 2025

 

Hi guys, a new year means a new Podcast Schedule! 

Once again you'll notice that this is a complete schedule. As we’re quite happy with how the balanced schedule worked out over the past couple of years so we’re doing it again. But I’m still going to insist on saying that "this schedule (at the time that I write this) is subject to change". As we’ve learnt (the hard way) that things don't tend to go the way we plan.

So again, we’re both going to get an equal amount number of episodes scattered throughout the year.

This still means that, we also have an awful lot of different options (and ideas) available to us. Which we'll decide on at the time (when needed!). Meaning that new extra episodes maybe added to the schedule at any time.

Hopefully making 2025's schedule an exciting year to be a follower of The Engage Podcast, we hope that you enjoy what we've got in store for you this year!!!

Although it should be noted that this year we're experimenting with the February release dates. By trialling shifting the dates back a week, so that after ten years we can celebrate my Birthday on the podcast! 

Meaning that we'll be moving the first episode [of the month] from Wednesday 7th of February to Wednesday 14th of February, and the second episode [of the month] from Wednesday 21st of February to Wednesday 28th of February.

Podcast Schedule 2023

Hi guys, a new year means a new Podcast Schedule!

Just like last year you’ll notice that this is a complete schedule. As we’re quite happy with how the balanced schedule worked out last year so we’re doing it again. But I’m still going to insist on saying that "this schedule (at the time that I write this) is subject to change". As we’ve learnt (the hard way) that things don't tend to go the way we plan.

So again, we’re both going to get an equal amount number of episodes scattered throughout the year. With us still taking the lead at our usual times of year:
Simon:- 1st January 2023-31st July 2023
Jamie:- 1st September-31st December 2023

This still means that, we also have an awful lot of different options (and ideas) available to us. Which we'll decide on at the time (when needed!). Meaning that new extra episodes maybe added to the schedule at any time.
Hopefully making 2023's schedule an exciting year to be a follower of The Engage Podcast, we hope that you enjoy what we've got in store for you this year!!!

Podcast Schedule 2022

 

Hi guys, a new year means a new Podcast Schedule!

But in a change to our previous schedules, you’ll notice that this is a complete schedule. I’m still going to insist on saying that "this schedule (at the time that I write this) is subject to change". Partly because we've never done this before, and as we’ve learnt (the hard way) that things don't tend to go the way we plan.

It's also because as this year we're modifying the current schedule slightly, by transforming it into what we're calling the balanced schedule. Which is where we both get an equal amount number of episodes scattered throughout the year. With us still taking the lead at our usual times of year:

Simon:- 1st January 2021-30th July 2022

Jamie:- 1st September-31st December 2022

This still means that, we also have an awful lot of different options (and ideas) available to us. Which we'll decide on at the time (when needed!). Meaning that new extra episodes maybe added to the schedule at any time.

Hopefully making 2022's schedule an exciting year to be a follower of The Engage Podcast, we hope that you enjoy what we've got in store for you this year!!!

Podcast Schedule 2021

 

Hi guys, a new year means a new Podcast Schedule!
Once again, this is an incomplete schedule...so just like previous years "this schedule (at the time that I write this) is subject to change". Partly, because we've learnt (the hard way) that things don't tend to go the way we plan.

It's also because this year's schedule is going to work out the same way as the last couple of years schedule (See our Star Trek 'odds and ends' episode for more information). As once again we've mutually decided that the workload (and the schedule) should be divided up a little bit more evenly.

Meaning that this year will be divided into two different sections, with each section managed by a different member of the team:
Simon:- 1st January 2021-30th July 2021
Jamie:- 1st September-31st December 2021
This still means that, we also have an awful lot of different options (and ideas) available to us. Which we'll decide on at the time (when needed!).
Hopefully making 2021's schedule an interesting year to be a follower of The Engage Podcast, we hope that you enjoy what we've got in store for you this year... not that even I know what's going to happen in the second half of the year!!!

Podcast Schedule 2018

Hi guys, a new year means a new Podcast Schedule!

A year which brings us the 25th Anniversary of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (airing in January of 1993), along with the 45th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Animated Series (airing in September of 1973)!

Once again, this is an incomplete schedule...so just like previous years "this schedule (at the time that I write this) is subject to change". Partly, because we've learnt (the hard way) that things don't tend to go the way we plan.
It's also because this year's schedule is going to work out a bit differently. Which is something we announced at the end of our Star Trek 'odds and ends' episode.

As instead of leaving one of us to organise the whole year, it has been mutually decided that the workload(and the schedule) should be  divided up a little bit more evenly. Meaning that this year will be into two different sections, with each section managed by a different member of the team:
Simon:- 1st January 2018-30th September 2018
Jamie:- 1st October-31st December 2018

This still means that, we also have an awful lot of different options (and ideas) available to us. Which we'll decide on at the time (when needed!).

Hopefully making 2018's schedule an interesting year to be a follower of The Engage Podcast, we hope that you enjoy what we've got in store for you this year... not that even I know what's going to happen in the second half of the year!!!
