I’m lovin’ the show BTW, so keep up the good work. Particularly like the fact you are very focussed on time and getting the topic done without (too much) waffle.

Intrigued by your comment about making some people unhappy – do tell!

@Eris
I tend to just skip past the bits that I have no interest in, so the short n sweet format definitely works for me!

It’d be interesting to hear a session on aesthetics vs accessibility, as it’s always interesting to get other peoples opinions on the subject.

Congrats to you, John and Rob on a great format. Keep it up!

@Scott It’s always awesome to hear people say that the format is having the effect we intended. At least if you aren’t interested in a topic (or know it all already) it’s only 10 minutes til there’s something hopefully more interesting.

We have had a few people mention that we don’t go particularly in depth with a subject. Hopefully our method of tackling this (getting an expert on board as in Ep.5 with Andrew Nacin) gives us the ability to get down and dirty with a subject from time to time as well :)

I must confess, I was reluctant to listen, due to the fact that, as you say, most podcasts these days either prattle on for too long, or are completely off-base.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by the down-to-earth nature of the “show” and the format it’s presented in. The bite (or should that be byte?) size segments make the whole thing a lot more enjoyable.

Nicely done, and keep up the good work :)
