Some news items.
(a) We are coming out of hiatus! It'll be brief, though. We're going to broadcast an interview with Fake Bodies from Woodbridge, VA this Friday at the regular time, and there's another episode planned after that.
(b) My podcasting focus has shifted elsewhere to a new project, and I've decided I can't maintain both that and TEIB and reach my ideal level of quality; so I'm going to focus on the new project entirely, and suspend The Enclosed Instruction Book. (More details on the new project this week.) I'm so proud of what this project was able to do, and I'm deeply appreciative to everyone who took the time to be on it, everyone who took the time to listen, and everyone at Fairfax Public Access for facilitating it. The podcast episodes will remain available for the forseeable future.
