Thanks. Looking forward to future episodes.
That's great! And thanks very much for the compliment. I will be ranting and raving a little bit about my stereo bluetooth headsets (Nokia BH-501 and a Phillips SHB6100) and using them with my laptop and my N800.

Startup sound - I think you should work on a good startup sound for the program something very cool also a sound to play out when the show ends.Also it would be nice if There is an Agenda for the show.you can divide it into segments .Tablet News,Feedback letter from listeners,Talks,Apps of the week .. get the point. Also a logo and an irc channel for the show would be nice.it would also be nice if u offered ogg download for those of us who prefer it.other than that great show and i would be looking forward to the next episode

cheers
Excellent feedback! I plan to take advantage of the fact that it's on a Saturday to be a little more prepared this time as well. On my other podcast, we normally have an outline for the show and follow it more or less pretty closely and that has worked out very well.

I would like to have an into and outro song (or at least a little jingle) but I've not invested time in either looking for anything podcast friend yet or composing something myself. I lost all my old compositions from back when I used to do MIDI and MOD tracking and stuff.. might need to get back into it for this. I probably would prefer to compose something myself but I won't be able to churn anything out for these first episodes.

I've thrown up a quickie logo for now from an old doodle of my cartoony character (Miles). If I can go back to that drawing and color it up, it might actually make a pretty good logo. Let me know what you think if you get a moment to take a look at it.

As for IRC, there is actually a web-based chat channel that is open DURING calls for anyone who goes to the web site during a live call. From experience as cohost on the Black Rock Lost Podcast, I'm told that I do a pretty good job of following chats while recording.. so hopefully that will continue here as well.

Hopefully, I'll have callers this time around too. If you created a Talkshoe account, you can also 'Follow this' to get invitations in case you want to participate in calls.

Lastly, the OGG format--I really wish TalkShoe would support OGG as well--but it doesn't. I'll have to write them and ask for OGG. I should probably ask everyone to do the same. In the meantime, maybe I can set up a seperate RSS feed at my own web server with OGG converted files (or, for quality's sake, maybe I can just record the show simultaneously on my own end and encode them as OGG to publish on the OGG feed). We'll see and I agree with your sentiment.

Again, I really appreciate the compliments and the suggestions! I can't wait to do the next show and hear what you have to say about it!

Thanks!
