To completely clarify, when the show first started in 2006 it was one show a week. In the summer of 2007, they expanded to multiple shows a week - pretty much one discussion and one email show, a Universal Show for a very short time. From this point until December 2008, the episode numbers were duplicated, so if there was a discussion and email show released the same day or week, they'd both have the same episode number. This really throws off the count and in reality we are somewhere over 1,000, but I still haven't finished up the final count due to how much time it takes. In 2010/2011 things really expanded and even more shows were done a week. For instance, February 23, 2011 had 4 episodes released including a News show, Wild Africa Trek Review, Horseback Riding Review, and a Universal Mardi Gras show. Another example is March 9/10, 2011 where we had a News Show, ESPN the Weekend, Flower & Garden segments all release on the same day and then separate interviews with Jack Lindquist and Becky Cline release the following day.
Fast forward to 2013 when we went to video, the format we chose to run with was a News show plus 2 segments that we would record after we were done with news. This became very tiring to do 2.5-3 hours of live shows a week, so we then dropped it to 1 segment after the News show, and after Dustin's departure we ultimately decided to shuffle things up and drop the extra segment, but still match that content in shows produced under other feeds - Best & Worst, Dining... as well as vlogs. So now we are down to 1 show in the feed a week that goes towards the episode numbers, with the exception of events like 7in7 or special one off episodes that we've done in the past, like the
Disneyland Hotel interview or our longer look at Pandora, that can't be squeezed onto the tail end of a news show and deserve better treatment.
Someone add this to the official DIS archives.
