Had a fuzzy feeling when I started playing it and Orbital is playing as the intro for the podcast. And suddenly I was in the 90's, seeing Angelina Jolie during the movie Hackers. Subtle touch at least on the nostalgic side.

So opening song really is from the movie! I felt the same :-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks Alex. I guess you're planning on uploading it as 3x 10min clips on YouTube?

So sorry. I've tried uploading the full version but Youtube rejects it as too long. I'm going to have to give up as it's taking a lot of my resource and I've got to get to bed - flight in a few hours. I will get on top of Youtube for next week. Anyone's welcome to upload this week's if they have an account that can post longer than 10mins.

You can get the limit lifted: http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&an...

"Can you bear my Northern English accent?" Your Northern English Accent sounds very professional. Like a BBC news correspondent. Don't ever worry about it. Accents in general stand out and make a person very memorable.

I find it very helpful when the voice talent of a podcast consists of different accents, or at least very different voices so you can tell the speakers apart and get a sense of distinct personalities. One of my favorite thing about the Tested.com podcast is Gary Whitta's Southern English accent.

Good point. I listened to several episodes of This Developer's Life before realising there were two presenters involved.

Maybe I'm just slow :P

I'd prefer a video podcast, even if there's just talking involved. I can't just listen to something anymore, because I'd have to do something else in the same time, and then I won't be able to focus on listening. With video I can just watch it.

Audiobooks & podcasts are my most used mode of learning. I generally take a walk while listening to the talk. Its a little exercise and learning at the same time. - Maintaining a regular route helps you focus. - make sure the entire route is safer
