Every time I look back at where this show was and where it is going amazes me. I remember when I was using a phone to call in to Talkshoe to record this show with a rigged headset plugged into the cordless phone. The audio quality wasn’t great, but then again the first 10 or so shows weren’t great either. It is all trial and error here, but one thing that I have brought to the table if high quality audio and a product that has now hit Episode 79.

At this point in the show, I have a full studio with all the bells and whistles that produce all that you have heard over the past 30+ shows. As of this show, we changed it up and went and recorded this show in a format that was totally new. We did this podcast on a Skype conference call. You will hear that people sound great, two people can talk at once and it sounded at some points as if the guests were across the console and in the same room. It was great to see that the advances that we are taking in this show are paying off.

As I usually do, I want to thank Chaz, Eric, Brett, Patrick and Paul (who maned the chat for us during the show and listened live) for being with us for the first of many future episodes on Skype. Thank you.

This episode is some what special. We recorded over 2 hours of audio and I went through and pulled the main segments that made up the show. Their are 7 parts to the show, and as you listen…You will see that they are all made up to produce 43 minutes of great audio. Enjoy the show.

Here are the show notes for February 12th, 2009

If you haven’t heard the show, this one is just shy of 45 minutes and I ask just one thing of the listeners…Please listen to the whole show and leave a comment and let us know what you thought of the length, content, and the guests on the show. Again, we continue to be grateful for the support that the show is getting from around the globe from the most northern parts of Russia, to just off the coast of South America. Thank you for listening.

Be well,
