What's Up With the Podcast? Update from Marshall...

I posted this in another thread, but I thought I should post it here as well as a general update. Thanks to everyone who has inquired about the show, I hope to be able to reward your patience soon:

Hey Marshall,

I hope this wasn't the last show, not because it was bad, because it wasn't, it was great. I'm like a drug addict and I need my fix of the RHTI podcast Ok bad analogy, I just really miss the show that's all.

Hi Home Team,

I should probably publish a quick "what's up" thread on the issue.

The podcast is only on temporary hiatus while we sort some personal things out over here. Megan and I are both currently looking for jobs closer to our families (Portland, OR and Iowa, respectively), and as a result, have spent a fair amount of time in airports, train stations, and rental cars as of late, not to mention, trying to keep a handle on everything work/personal related here as well. We're still doing fine (still have food/roof/even health insurance), but we've had to give up a lot of our free time, free time that usually get spent podcasting.

I'm hoping that within 30 days, we'll have at least one good job somewhere West of here, and you'll be seeing something of a re-launch of Real HT Info (likely shorter, yet more regular audio segments, and more video segments). Until then, thank you so much for your support. It's good to know how many listeners have enjoyed the podcast, and I hope, will enjoy it in the future as well.

Thanks,
Marshall

A quick update: We've officially landed in Monmouth, Oregon. Megan started a new job last week, though I'm still on the job market.

After a cross-country drive, we have landed in our temporary apartment/storage area. I've attached a picture. We craiglisted most of our belongings to finance the move, included my TV and some other HT stuff. I'm hopeful that I will find employment soon, slowly rebuild the Home Theater, and relaunch the podcast.

Thanks to everyone for your support. As you see, I am still quite active on the forums, still answer my email, and am still very excited about the future of Home Theater. We just need to prioritize some things right now, but I'm very hopeful that we will be back on our feet very soon.

Thanks again,
Marshall

Marshall, I hope you find work soon and that everything goes well for the wife and you. This must have been a trying time for both of you.

It's certainly changed my definition of stress, that's for sure. Still, I've been quiet for a while because I don't want to complain. There are plenty of people who have it worse than we had months back, and certainly worse than we have it now. We never had to worry about paying the rent or putting food on the table, but sending more money out than comes in is never a good feeling. Thank goodness we were smart enough to save during the good times so that we could spend that savings during the lean times.
