Listened to the first 35 minutes or so on the subway on the way to work. So far so good! Thanks for making the ride more tolerable! Sean kind of sounded like Robocop with the way his voice was coming through too. Sort of metal sounding! I wish I could walk around sounding like that all the time!

That's the ****ty microphone on my headset. I don't actually sound like that in real life.

If it's bad enough that I'm sounding like Robocop in the podcast, it's time for a replacement. So if anyone has recommendations for a professional-grade headset that has both high-quality speakers and a high-quality mic, I'm taking suggestions.

I thought it was cool. I would keep it, personally. I can't stand hearing my own voice so I would welcome anything that changes it. It would be cool if someone could do the podcast with a guitar and talk box ala Frampton, Walsh, etc.

I just clicked on the link at it showed up right at the top. Is the feed itself not working?

I've checked it in the RSS Reader I have the feed synced in, and there is no new podcast shown.

My Podcasts app on the iPad grabbed the new episode this morning and downloaded it, so at least the iTunes side of it should be functional.

EDIT: And thank you netizen for the link.

Weird. The new podcast was in the RSS for me as soon as I uploaded the mp3 last night. It also appeared instantly in iTunes, which uses the RSS to grab the episode list. As SYT said, you can test the feed by opening the RSS link in a browser: you'll see the new episode is right there at the top, which means the feed is working as it should.

I'm about halfway through.

Jeff, has anyone ever told you that you sound a little like LevelCap?

Great, we're all going to have podcast names by the time Episode #6 rolls around. LevelCap, Robocop...hmm, what should we call shutyertrap?...hmm...

According to my reader the feed was just updated under an hour ago, so take it for what it is

Ha, I haven't heard that one yet.

@net: glad to see it finally updated for you. The XML file, which is itself "the feed", updated instantly when I uploaded the mp3 last night and hasn't changed since, so I'm not sure why it took your program so long to catch up. Maybe a caching issue or something.

Thank you again!

Odd...you don't seem like an enchanter to me...

He warned you, but did you listen to him?
