A recording ready before its release
1A community radio group recorded interviews for a program about local gardens. By Tuesday evening, the editing was complete and the music had been added. However, one guest had not yet checked a quotation. The producer wanted to make sure that the quotation represented the guest's meaning accurately.
2The group did not release the program until the guest confirmed the quotation on Wednesday morning. Soon after the confirmation arrived, the producer uploaded the recording. During the wait, the team stayed in contact with listeners and prepared a short description of the program. Waiting to publish did not mean stopping every other task.
3A listener later wrote that the team had worked on the sound until Wednesday. The producer corrected this account: the sound had been ready earlier. The final delay concerned confirmation, not editing. A useful summary therefore had to identify both the action that was delayed and the event that ended the wait.
