The AIO broadcast schedule looped around again

I looked at Oneplace and it seems that the broadcast schedule has looped back around to Whit's Flop. The last time it aired was January 21, 2019. Within a week, the last of the Olivia arc episodes will be down, and radio-only listeners can't expect to hear them again until either 2024 or 2025.
I suppose it stands to reason when you have 30+ years of material that it will take a while to go through them one by one, and no doubt people will be pleased to hear classic actors playing classic characters in classic episodes. But it's odd to think that by the time listeners catch back up to the present, there's likely to be 80+ 'new' episodes of AIO (albeit they'll only be able to hear about half of them, because of Club exclusives). I remember thinking when I was a kid that a year-long rotation was ponderous, but clearly I hadn't seen anything yet.
