Today I recorded after dropping the man off at school and listening to Shane's podcast from yesterday. Thanks for the feedback Shane and the beginning of the file naming discussion that is surely going to be important for user and developer experiences with this convergent medium. I made sure to add it to today's podcast.

This podcast is all geek all the way. I get back to yesterday's article from the Chicago Tribune and finish my thoughts on it and give a podcasting and content forecast. Let's see what else. . . oh yeah the mic breakdown and software round-up on my pc that I use for production.

Croncast - Betsy and her husband Kris Ep. 6 is all killer with no filler. . . maybe all filler but it is a hoot! I just typed hoot. The first bit of the show is Kris messing up and Betsy messing with him. This part was going to be removed but we deemed it pretty funny after listening to it and left it in.

Croncast - Betsy and her husband Kris Ep. 8. Today's show is focused on the usual stuff, baby names, identity theft and removing my equipment from the garbage. Betsy tossed out the small mic stand that she prefers to use for the show because the man was chasing one of the cats with it . . . it weighs 10 lbs. Getting ready for season 2 of HBO's Carnival and the new stuff they have put up in the OnDemand section like a season 2 preview.

Tomorrow's show will be with Richie Carey from www.careyinternet.com about using blogs for business solutions from small to large to engage customers.

Croncast - Richie and his friend Kris Ep. 1. Today's guest is Richie Carey from www.careyinternet.com. We talk about using blogs for business solutions from small to large to engage customers. Of course that is the intended focus but the meandering began early.

Mixed with technical difficulties with Skype I was able to get the show together. We should have done a Dawn and Drew double ender but instead I opted to record everything locally. My soundcard has a lot of extra noise that I didn't hear when recording the show. At one point I commited sin of messing with audio levels wjile recording . . . you'll know when!

This show was a lot of fun to record. Thanks again to my new friend Richie Carey who will be a frequent guest on the show, I hope.
