Please speak up a little more. It was a little hard to follow parts, although that could change with no or limited background noise. thanks.

You may want to stick a pop-filter in front of the MXL to cut down on plosives. There were a few instances during the cast.

If you have any audio questions, feel free to email me at the address provided.

The links to the old podcast audio files don’t appear to be working on their pages- the mp3 files linked to appear not to exist, and the site (media.weblogsinc.com/…) gets stuck in an infinite loop of redirecting. If you have local copies could you put them up on the site somewhere?

The podcast was cool. But as so many people have said the music was to loud. One thing that could add to the podcast would be a co-host. Drop me an line if you would like to work together.

Yup.

Sigh, don't have time to hunt down the first one.
Here's 2 and 3. The second is the best.

Podcast audio sounds great and congrats on starting it back up. Some suggestions:

1) As mentioned before, remove the music from all but the intro

2) Get a co-host, somebody you can bounce ideas off of and vice-versa. Otherwise you might just read though the points quickly and skip over some really good discussion topics.

Personally I'd love to hear your view on the hacks (already there, keep it up :) ) and any uses you see or larger interesting projects you know of where they are used. if anything it should content the "this is a useless hack" people and give a wider context for how stuff can be used (eg the wake-on-lan ideas from the last one).

references to relevant previous projects would be good for people who haven't been reading for long. it shouldn't need technical details unless they're absent from the hack write-up, but possibly some type of FAQ-style answers to questions that many people are asking.
I second the music comments, the bed was good but the level was too high. interviews would also be awesome.

Good podcast, but get rid of the music bed.. it’s a bit much.

Perhaps like… a “honorable mention” section… like andrew said, hacks that just didnt quite make it but are still kinda fun if we want to look em up or google around. maybe links to them with the podcast. “mentioned in the podcast… -link-” ?

perhaps note some hacks that didn’t make it on to hackaday? i don’t know how many you guys “throw out” per se, but…

oh good idea, i’ll second that on the interviews :)

Interviews, i think #2 had one, not sure but one of them did.

Also i liked the music, just turn it down a but.

Okay. So besides the background music… do you folks have any suggestions for what type of content you would like to see in the show etc?

By: andrew

andrew — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 23:22:46 +0000

it’s fine, but the background music needs to go, or at least turned down quite a bit, because it is very distracting.
