How Long Does It Take to Write a Podcast?

Each show takes about ten to 12 hours to knock out, not counting the time i spend just reading. My days off have become very jumbled lately, so my research writing hours are constantly shifting around. Then recording 20 minutes of material takes about another hour, depending on how in the zone i am. For this, i run two parallel vocal tracks in garage ban and when i stumble over something, i cut out the last few seconds, hop to the other track and pick up where i left off.
