Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Andrew Greig asks, Hey Gary, I’m curious: with so many episodes, are you able to remember what you have covered? Or do you ever have an idea for a show pop into your head only to realize you have already done it?

For the most part, yes, but there have been a few instances where I went down the path of starting an episode only to realize that I’d done it earlier.

Pretty much the first stage in researching any episode, for the other writers and me, is checking whether there is already an episode on the topic.

That being said, there are often different ways to tackle the same subject. There are many topics that I could do again, but in a completely different way. We are in no danger of running out of new episode ideas. I suggest you listen to Everything Everywhere Weekly on Patreon, where Joel and I, in the course of almost every episode, will come up with new episode ideas just talking about the episode of the previous week.
