To echo what @jomaxro said, your best route is using a topic timer to schedule the publishing of these topics.

One way to approach setting these up is creating a `drafts` subcategory under the `staff` category, and then schedule the topic timer to have the topic posted to the appropriate category at the time/date you set.
