Feedback

From GhodMode
Thanks to GhodMode (twitter)for pointing out a typo in our show notes. Unfortunatly it was in the template, so it's in all of the show notes. Glad to hear we're listened to way over in New Zealand. Greetings! He was also kind enough to leave us some nice feedback and a link to one of his posts about listening to podcasts that are sped up . Ghodmode said:

I enjoy listening to your show, and I appreciate your concern, but sanity is overrated and should only be taken in moderation :)

Besides that, there can be a lot of benefits to speeding up podcasts.

After hearing this episode, I wrote an article on my own blog about getting a little more out of podcasts by speeding them up:

Faster... for your listening pleasure

I usually listen to all of the podcasts I subscribe to at 60% more than normal speed.

Also...

Hmmm... Originally, I only clicked on the link to your show at the Tech
Podcast Network because it reminded me of the Two Guys
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Guys) department store I loved to
visit when I was a kid  :-D   I'm glad I did.  Your show is pretty
good.  I listen to a lot of podcasts and yours is one of the ones I
never skip.  Thanks for doing the podcast :-)

Thanks GhodMode! He even has a post on his blog congratulating us! What a guy.
