Thank you for listening and please do let us know what you think of the show.
During the Sipera interview, you forgot the first rule of broadcasting: Don’t breathe continuously in the mike!
anon –
I was hoping it wasn’t noticable. Yes, in our continuing quest to improve audio quality, Jonathan was trying a different headset configuration which, unfortunately was a bit too close. We fixed that part way through, but yes, in the first part you hear his breathing. Lesson learned.
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the great shows. I’ve been wishing my drive time was longer these days so I could stay up with my podcasts–that is if I could afford the gas! Just thought I’d ask if you can create a section where you could place the more interesting links that you provide in the shows along with a little blurp regarding what the link is to. Kind of a One-Stop-Shop. Thanks and keep up the good work!
