Apr 30, 2009 1:54:38 This is me saying "big thumbs up on the podcast!" This is positive feedback on that most recent podcast, in contrast to the bad feedback I gave on Author Readings.

There was no appology from WotC, but that time is past and I'm willing to move on. Thank you for your work on the podcast and I would like to encourage this type of episode throughout the future. Please do not slow down, revert back, or fire another host. This is just fine.

Again, this is meant to be a positive review. Keep it up!

Yours,
Lord Dreadman

I don't want to open old wounds, but may I ask why you felt they needed to apologize?

See this thread for that discussion.

I just finished listening to the current podcast yesterday and I was very pleased with it. My only problem with it was that I got so busy thinking of ideas inspired by what they were talking about, I stopped paying attention and had to rewind to catch what I missed. IMO, nearly every podcast should be like that; pick a topic and do some Q&A on it along with some general exposition. I think the concepts of Game Theory and Design work well in the context of a podcast. The only suggestion I would make is to perhaps bring in a larger group of people from time to time and do more of a round table discussion.

Ah, thank you. Can't say I agree with LordDreadman's opinion, but I can see where he's coming from at least.

While I agree that it would be nice to hear more viewpoints, anything more than 3 people in a recording session just becomes a zoo. A "round table" discussion would just be too many speakers for the average listener to keep track of and think of all the extra work the poor engineer would have to do!

May 01, 2009 15:18:10 I agree it can be difficult, but it's definately possible. A friend of mine records a podcast twice a month and regularly features upwards of 6 mics. That podcast is an entirely different format though, and I'm not suggesting that many here. I meant something along the lines of 4-5 people, with less back and forth. Perhaps a question is asked and then they go around the 'table' in order and each give their own answer.

May 01, 2009 17:12:32 one minor gripe: 70mb for a 50 minute podcast, and the downloadspeed is very slow.

penny arcade had 12mb for more than half of the playtime.

please take whoever made the pvp podcasts, and introduce the one who made the newer ones to the technology involved. because there's no reason why one could not compress this more.
