I just enjoyed listening to your episode 4 Podcast and thought you would like to know about the free open source MediaPortal program:

http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/index.html

I have not tried it myself yet as I need to replace my ancient laptop first:)

I would however be interested in your opinion should you decide to take it for a spin.

I just listened to ep6. Nice work. Keep it up.

I would like to comment that the sound quality was much better in this episode compared to #5. #5 had a lot of bad pop when ever you made the "P" sound but you seemed to have fixed that in ep6.

[firstadopter]

Thanks. The way I fixed it was I put the Logitech microphone sideways instead of right in front of me. :)

The P sound makes humans blow out a lot of air, which caused the pop in the previous episode.

Look for a new episode tomorrow night. It's going to be a doozy!

[firstadopter]

Arogan, next week I'd like to summarize your recent reviews of FEAR and Far Cry etc. in the podcast, you cool with that?

If you want, you can record the review on your own, email it to me, and I'll just put it in an Arogan review section in the podcast, the Logitech USB Microphone is only $20 and has good audio quality, if you are looking for a mike. Make sure you get the $20 version, not the $10 version on Amazon.com.

If you don't want to, or just want me to do it, that's fine. Or if you rather not me do your reviews on the podcast, that's fine too.

[firstadopter]

Doh, I think I have the P problem back on this episode, I spoke too closely to the mike. Oh well.

[arogan]

Rendition, fyi feel free to use anything I post here or on my blog.

[firstadopter]

Thanks arogan! Will do. What did you think about my new "no preparation" format?

Come to think of it, it sounds the same from the ones I did before that I wrote a line by line transcript, maybe with a few more "UMMS.." "uuuhs" and my dreaded "BASICALLY" lol.

[arogan]

I just finished listening to the new podcast. I like the new format. I think you should keep it. I never was really a big fan of scripted podcasts.

[firstadopter]

It has the added benefit of letting me do more podcasts, since it takes much less time to prepare. I will do the more spontaneous/off the cuff version from now on.

[firstadopter]

I re-listend to my Ep. 10 podcast and I don't like it. I obviously didn't spend as much time preparing for this one, I'll try to find a happy medium between too little and over preparation next time.
