Maybe. This just seems like the kind of release that warrants a countdown from them. Providing Nick wasn't pulling people's leg in the podcast by saying it was due this week. Well if he was the attempt to make the Podcast more professional will be having limited success.

He does have the Aprils Fooling going for him if it doesn't hit this week.

It'll be out. Big Finish know how big Ravenous will be, there just being coy
As for the podcast, I think Nick Briggs and Benjii Clifford intent is to be geninue. Nick Briggs, in particular has seen properties like Doctor Who been mismanaged and wants to assure new listeners that Big Finish comes from a place of sincerity, rather then a stageman presence, particularly with conceptions of audio drama.

I don't have a problem with Nick & Benji and I love the podcast. Tangents and all because it does feel genuine. And I'm not saying Ravenous won't be released this week as Nick said in the podcast. I'm just surprised, because it is, as you note, a big title...all 8th Doctor releases certainly are since Dark Eyes....that there hasn't been a countdown for the release. Nothing more than that. Unless Nick was having a bit of fun and getting everyone's hopes up. Or because he messed up...which has been known to happen as well. Either way, long may Nick & Benji make their pod of cast.

I think it's Big Finish just trying to do something different. They know they have an audience for Ravenous, they know his big it's going to be, so why not do something different to build up anticipation, particularly given Doom Coalition's cliffhanger? Given that Ravenous is one of the biggest Big Finish releases of 2018, I imagine it has a VERY fixed release date. Big Finish isn't going to joke about it.

You & Mark are probably right. And as I have said, Ravenous is probably getting released this week. I just think it is odd about the countdown. Or lack of one. That is really it.

Trust me, Nick Briggs is playing off from previous mistakes

Anyone else salivating? The food themed name give me lots of scope to worth with pun-wise. Is there room in upcoming sets for a Sontaran potato head thing, or is that too dark?

Thursday's used to be the typical day for event box sets like this, though there has been a little bit of randomness thrown into some of that (such as Crossfire - Part 3, and I'm fairly certain the Torchwood - Aliens Among Us sets were scattered a bit too). But it would seem likely that tomorrow's the day

But it would seem likely that tomorrow's the day Tonight's news about the upcoming Benny collection and the writer's opportunity for that is reasonably big, so I doubt Big Finish would overshadow that with this release. Mind you, I do miss the podcast specifying the dates the week's releases are coming out on.

Friday release or was I correct and Nick was teasing everyone or got the release week wrong? I’m holding out for Friday. I think John Dorney (or someone) said it was out this week on Twitter.

It'll be Friday (we've had Friday releases before) and I don't think today's announcement was coincidental

Hoping so as well but Friday releases are a bit unusual.
