Episode 01 - Hello World There has to be a first episode, and this is what I have to show for it. Dr. Tim and I make a go at our first recording at our favorite local Austin breakfast spot. We ended the recording rather abruptly as we get the feel for recording in the middle of a busy restaurant. Fortunately, Dr. Tim is a frequent flyer at the diner, and we expect to be let back in again in a few weeks. :) Some links that I mention in the wrap-up at the end of the show. Podcasting 2.0 Adam Curry and the Value 4 Value model for Podcasting newpodcastapps.com Much work to do on the microphone presence, but we'll get there, maybe. probably. tune in next time to see if we improve.
