These two things are related.

The problem with the streams is this. To get devs, we need to have them during times devs are in the office and have free time to chat. That means the closer to 3:00PM Eastern time we do these, the more likley and more often you're going to get a dev. Once you get to 5PM, the odds are slim (Friday's doubly so). After that they're almost non-existent. Anything after 7PM is a non-starter.

If I could have my way every time, we'd do each and every live stream at 2:30PM Eastern. No exceptions. You'd have the highest chance of devs in any given stream and very likely a variety of devs throughout the week. In fact, the truth here is that if we start doing dev round tables, you can expect all of them to be in the 2PM-3PM Eastern time frame. For all the reasons just listed.

So the reality of a 5PM 'late' stream is going to stay with us for a good long while. You might, if you're nice to me, get me to do a "live from Casa de Rick" night or weekend stream if I happen to have a block of spare time and something interesting to share. That's about as close as we're going to get to a 'late' stream.

That said, I may reach out to the LOTROReporter guys and see if they're interested in a "guest host" slot on our stream. They're west coast so it would be later.
