Golly gee, I always have something to bring up about each episode of this podcast. tongue.gif Anyways, I like the new episode, it seems much more consistent, smooth, and the feeling of listening to a book-on-tape has dwindled. But, I'm still disappointed on the flow of the interviews. Maybe it's just me, but I don't find the transition of each question effective. It's almost like, you ask one question, and then the person being interviewed gives an answer which in real life could use a response, like a laugh or something, but the interviewer just moves on to the next question. It seems sort of dull in my opinion, so maybe the transitioning of each question could be improved. unsure.gif Anyways, thanks, keep it up! bigdrink.gif

It's hard enough to find people that have a mic to interview, let alone use skype or Ventrilo on which we can interview them realistically. Suggestions are very welcome.

I'm not talking about the "live" aspect of it all, but have the interviewer have a more realistic transition than just moving onto the next question. I mean, you do use recordings, right? The interviewer should base his/her transition into the next question off of the person's answer. Possibly, begin with a laugh or something if the person gave a joke.

Yes, but that's hard because the host isnt actually conducting the interview.

I actually agree with this, and there are plenty of ways to make this work, like IRC or MSN or something.

So basically, the host and person being interviewed would talk through MSN or IRC, and that's the script, basically for the interviews segment, instead of just having a piece of paper and two people with probably two different replies.
