One thing I would comment on about the format though, is that intro and many of the questions felt very scripted. I would prefer to see a more casual approach to the interview process. Definitely prepare questions ahead of time, but I would have liked to have heard conversation around the responses, rather than abruptly moving on to the next question. There was a little more engagement during the second half of the interview when Matt asked a few questions, and this felt a little more natural.<BR/><BR/>With regards to the quality of the show, it sounded pretty good for a first episode. I don't know what your hardware setup or location was, but you might want to consider investing in some higher quality mics and/or some accoustic padding for the interviewing location. There was a lot of echo and problems with sibilence (sounds made with the letters s, sh, th, etc.). These problems might be fixed through better micing or somre more post-processing of the audio.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Brian, it would have been nice to have gotten some commentary from the interviewers after the interview, about anything that may have surprised them, or thoughts on the interview itself.<BR/><BR/>Overall though it was a pretty enjoyable show, and the length felt nearly perfect. Good job guys.<BR/><BR/>(Oh, and I would say that posting to the blog under the name 'iinnovate' tends to have a less authentic feel than if we could see who actually wrote the post)brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074396047370682598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30579080.post-1154468649517218112006-08-01T14:44:00.000-07:002006-08-01T14:44:00.000-07:00For the written transcripts, consider using Amazon...For the written transcripts, consider using Amazon.com's MechanicalTurk (www.mturk.com)...
