		<description>Forgot to mention...Ryan your voice would be great for radio, commercials, or maybe as an announcer for monster truck rallies, etc.  So if the mmo dev thing ever gets old, those guys get big $!  :)</description>

		<description>Thanks, Movu. We plan on keeping the under-10 minute requirement for future podcasts, but we're also not going to write scripts anymore. We aren't actors, so it sounds like crap when we use a script. We have an idea for the next one, and it's completely silly again. But, the THIRD one should actually be applicable to MMOs, though still in a comedic format.

Hopefully we can pull that off after we ease ourselves into this whole podcasting thing (hence the first couple being more about us learning how to podcast well rather than attempt something meaningful). We've both done podcasts in the past. I drove the creation of the SOE Podcast (along with Joel White, and of course with people like Crosby and Cat who made it happen), and appeared in the first several before moving. But, it was a different beast and this is OURS this time, so we're finding our groove.

JuJutsu: Danuser came up with the Bartles &#038; Koster wine cooler part. There were a bunch of parts that I had to try not to laugh audibly at, and that was one of them (another being the part after the rap when he says not to interrupt his flow but he stumbles over the words... that one wasn't planned).

In the future, without the script, you'll probably have to listen to us giggle like idiots sometimes. But, hey, such is the way it must be if we don't read from a piece of paper..</description>

		<description>Yo Ryan,

Sweet initiative by both of you. Looking forward to more.

Some critique.

WAY too scripted. That may be your format though ("10 min or less"), if it is, the cast isnt for me.

Hope you find a cooler format in future casts, maybe thats your plan.

I like the "Actual designers doing casts when not affiliated with the company", however its pointless imho if you do it as a "streamline-far-from-the-ground" cast.


Love your site, - James</description>

		<description>Yeah, Genda. A couple of lessons we learned:

1) Don't script the entire thing out. I wrote the script to motivate us to finally record it, which it did, but then we used it as a crutch.
2) We need to find a way to prevent the annoying echo. We may even hang up a couple sheets to see if that works next time.</description>

		<description>Liked the podcast, but you guys sounded almost like an "official" podcast.  I think it would rule if it were at least a little more spontaneous.   :smile:   Good stuff though.  I might just donate another 26 cents to the cause.  :mrgreen:</description>
