When it's your time to try to set the world aright, remember this: when it comes to providing basic necessities like health care and education, you need both the efficiency of capitalist competition and the compassion and humanity of socialism.  The money must be made by Capitalists and spent by Socialists.

Some ideas: keep the podcasts SHORT.  15-20 minutes in length.  anything more is too hard to make and listen to.

Really? My favorite weekly/twice monthly podcasts are in the 1.5-2 hour range, some times longer.  Though that requires a more dedicated team. Plenty of segments/interviews, but regular "DJ"'s filling inbetween.  The key, I think, isn't even so much your hook or your content but continuous, familiar voices delivering the hook.

Is this a joke? Hope not. . . I miss the DC Podcast!

Add it to Zune/iPod -- maybe it'd be enough to pressure you into keeping-it-going.

I'd signed up way back, got accepted at some point, but forgot until a few days ago. . .

So far, I like it sufficiently. It works better than g.ho.st for me, anyway :D

I wonder what arse would send you an invite after it was no longer invitation only . . .
