I like how it turned out. I like that it's focused and not too long.

I think the content was mostly helpful.

I'm glad Brandon mentioned the world-building trap.

The podcast downloads fine from the actual site, but I can't seem to find it on iTunes.  Maybe I misread, though, and the proper channels haven't been set up to access it yet?  I also tried to click the iTunes link from the site but it told me that it couldn't complete the transaction because it wasn't yet available in the US.  it might just be my computer because it finds it funny to play tricks on me, but I thought I'd let you know just to be safe.

Oh, and nice job. :)  It was spevetacular.

I found it on Itunes today.  Looks like they got it approved.  A simple search turns it up.

I'm going to have to go with Shir Hashirim's sentiment on this, it was quite; "spevetacular". I think. I mean, it was very special-very-tacular.  :D

And highly fascinating, intelligent and entertaining too ^_^  ;D
