I don’t normally listen to the podcast (sadly time is not on my side), so I had to guess who was who because you didn’t introduce yourselves. Perhaps your normally do it, I don’t remember hearing it this time though.
Also, it would be nice to have a brief agenda at the beginning so that folks know what the structure of the show is beforehand.
Eric Dye says
Great tips, Raoul, we’ll keep these in mind for our 2014 re-boot. 🙂
