This measures the delays between an article being published and the episode being out. To avoid penalizing doing episodes on old articles, only articles published by Scott after the start of the podcast are counted. (This is why there's an empty gap on timescales shorter than a year in 2020-2021, when the blog was offline and the podcast only released episodes for old articles.)
