According to Fark.com RSS, the podcast "Noise Factor" returned to the air at 10:30 p.m. ET, despite originally being scheduled to air on July 25. Producers are acting as if the show has not yet aired on that date in order to keep the new Mastodon segment fresh for listeners.
The episode also features other segments, including "Testament," "Goatfather," and "Lightsucker," and offers a preview of an upcoming special live episode. The return to the airwaves comes after the show’s planned July 25 broadcast was postponed, prompting the decision to maintain the illusion that the original date is still pending.
The move to continue airing the show while pretending the original premiere date has not passed is an unusual approach to preserve audience interest in new content.
