#3I was excited to see this, but I found that the interviewer spent too much time talking. I got too frustrated and stopped listening. I want to hear what Cook has to say, and the interviewer is only there to facilitate that.
I'd encourage the interviewer to go back over the audio, and measure the amount of time he's talking vs. the amount of time that John Cook is talking. If it's greater than 20% or so, then that's a problem.

Duly noted!
In the first episode, I got feedback that people wanted to hear more from me. Perhaps I went too much in the opposite direction here. Converging, slowly :)
Btw the aim is 50/50 -- these are not meant to be "interviews".

#5I liked his blog, but I hope this isn't a precedent that will be followed. I have precious little time to read posts in my goodreader backlog. Podcasts, in addition to being terrible most of the time, are sucky unless they provide a transcript, and even then it would be 100x better if they dug more than 1mm deeply than the headline.

I'll give this a listen on the commute to work next week.

Interesting. You're right in that it's not an interview -- my terminology was misleading.

I'd rather hear more from the creator of Gensim. Has John D. Cook built anything impressive?

Umm.. I have nothing against gensim or the author, but aren't you assuming that JDC hasn't. He has been working in consulting and probably under a lot of NDA contract clauses and has not been able to publish? I don't know his work, just like his blog.

podcasts are good for when you are on the move, or you want to rest your eyes.
