As with pretty much every other event, the Edinburgh Fringe has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic; last year?s Fringe was cancelled, and this years is running with a much-reduced program.<\/p>\n
I?ve been podcasting the Edinburgh Fringe since 2005 to critical acclaim. With the Fringe’s cancellation in 2020, the podcast was rested, and there was always a question of what to do in 2021. Would I look to cover this year?s Fringe as I had in previous years? Would it stay rested until whatever a ?full Fringe? is would come back? Would this be the point to consider retiring the show.?<\/p>\n
In the end, I?ve decided to punt the decision to next year.<\/p>\n
