  1. Congratulations on the Ragan sponsorship—but I have to admit that my first thought was “I hope they’re not getting rid of the Media Monitoring Minute.” Which means that Chip Griffin has achieved something very few sponsors do, and Ragan has something to live up to.

    Had to laugh at the bit you forgot to edit out about deciding whether to go on with the 1-minute news.

    Speaking of editing, how’s that geek dinner audio? I just recorded something under fairly similar circumstances, and while the voices are clear, the background noise is fairly painful.

    Your podcasting book just arrived, and I’m looking forward to reading it.

  2. Thanks, Sallie. Chip Griffin alerted us to the glitch and it has been edited out. You now have a collector’s editing episode of FIR!

    I’ll have the geek dinner audio ready for Monday’s show. I just ran out of time to finish editing it. The ambient noise is pretty loud, but the voices do come through well enough that I think it’s listenable.
