Last thursday, my wife was hosting an evening get-together for the local, "Mom's Club" which meant I was free to hide upstairs tinkering on my PC.  Chris Pirillo popped on IM and asked if I'd like to join his talk show for a chat about all sorts of topics- MSN Remote Record, my new gig, customer feedback, and the upcoming SF geek dinner. I had a bad cold and my voice was hoarse but I figured why not.

Well, after an Internet brownout on Comcast's network, and VOIP bridge issues, I heard Chris faintly on what sounded like an 8-bit audio connection and we did the interview. Fortunately things got better over time but I could only hear about 1/2 of every word he was saying which made things interesting. My favorite part was Chris' fiancee Ponzi and I using an IRC channel to re-connect. :)

Listening to the interview, I'm coming to the realization that I probably wouldn't make a very good podcaster. I have that East-Coast, "Talkasfastasyoucantosayasmuchasisgoingthroughyourheadasquicklyaspossiblewithtoomanyumms" challenge.  Sure, I can slow down for keynotes (strangely enough I slow down when I'm not as relaxed), but this was casual and Chris and I have a way of amping up the speed when we talk.

Anyway, have a listen and give me your feedback.  A few folks have approached me about doing a weekly MCE show.  Is there interest in this?  Maybe as a segment on Chris' show if he's willing? I'm not the right guy to host, but maybe I can be a fill-in guest on the couch :).
