To date, it's the only episode where we recorded and published within 3 hours (the podcast literally went live 2.5 hours after we finished recording.) Being able to understand a situation as it unfolds is critical. In the near future, we'll follow up with the concluding picture, and go from there.

If I were you guys, I would have waited until about... now to publish it, as most of the info in the cast is now wellknown or outdated, and events were still unfolding when you guys made it.

I'd be willing to edit if you want.

One thing I would have liked to hear more about was the positive side of this: as Phil Sandifer suggested on WikiEN-l, this can in some sense be seen as a justification of Wikipedia's policy of giving experts (or supposed experts) no extra authority beyond the arguments and evidence they bring to the wiki.
