As vet­eran users of this web­site (and vet­eran lis­ten­ers) know, I haven’t pro­duced new For The Record pro­grams for more than a year.

I reported that I had been obliged to sus­pend pro­duc­tion due to the pres­sures of the day job. (I live an artist’s lifestyle, using paid employ­ment to sus­tain myself while I do research, writ­ing and pro­gram production.)

This was a nec­es­sary obfus­ca­tion, under the circumstances.

In real­ity, I was seri­ously ill. I have main­tained my health very effec­tively over the years, on the balance.

I did let my den­tal health slide a bit, under the extreme pres­sures of the effort. A tooth became infected and the infec­tion spread.
I had to have major oral surgery and was hos­pi­tal­ized for a month. It was a very, very seri­ous situation.

Out of the hos­pi­tal and dan­ger, I am rehab­bing nicely and am await­ing the con­struc­tion and fit­ting of par­tial den­tures. I was unable to speak clearly for a long time, neces­si­tat­ing the hia­tus from broad­cast production.

For secu­rity rea­sons, I did not dis­close this when under­go­ing treatment–there are those ele­ments who wish me ill and I didn’t think it pru­dent to be com­pletely can­did, under the circumstances.

I will be resum­ing pro­gram pro­duc­tion very shortly. Until I have mas­tered my “new chops” and can speak with­out an imped­i­ment, the pro­grams will con­sist of rel­e­vant excerpts of the old Archive Shows with intro­duc­tions to be read by guest per­son­al­i­ties. This mate­r­ial will be new to the over­whelm­ing major­ity of listeners.

I will also be pro­duc­ing on-air inter­views with guests, with sur­ro­gate inter­view­ers pos­ing ques­tions which I will com­pose.
As soon as I am able, I will be back on the air in per­son. I do not think this will take very long, but, never hav­ing trav­eled down this par­tic­u­lar road, can’t say for absolute sure.

I have dri­ven myself relent­lessly for­ward for more than three decades and am com­mit­ted to the effort. Nonethe­less, being in my six­ties, I will be tak­ing more time to “smell the flow­ers,” so to speak.

From the feed­back I’ve got­ten over the years, it has become appar­ent that many (if not most) of the lis­ten­ers do not under­stand the truly Spar­tan and Her­culean nature of my effort over the years. I will be sus­tain­ing that effort, but will be a lit­tle kinder to myself.

The Zero Hedge guy has nothing on Dave when it comes to high-level macro-conspiracy analysis that's either uranium-grade bulldada or the hidden truth about everything

Listened to his first post-Trump election episode. He's rightfully become the guy wearing an "I told you the End Times were coming!" sandwich board.
