I'm just now getting a chance to listen to this.

Observation 1: An hour? Really?? You're killing me, guys. I can't even focus on Gossip Girl for an hour, and those broads have bigger cans than you! So I just used the handy dandy topic guide that you posted and focused on a few topics. Am I the only person who skipped around? If not, maybe others would also be interested to see you post the start times of each segment, or even each topic if it's not too big of a pain? Skipping around without one is a fate worse than living in a red state.

Observation 2: Adam does talk to much, but, uh, isn't that almost the point of a podcast? Of all the segments I listened to, you two were fairly evenly matched in discussion time, but it seemed like Adam was leading most of the segments. If you take turns introducing topics, maybe that could help even things out?

Observation 3: Nice pipes, Seth! :)

Wow! It's like a phone call from Adam, except there are no loud oven beeps, static, or baking goods rattling my ears... nor does my phone go from fully charged to dead.

Definitely an interesting set of topics discussed... keep em coming!

Adam on September 03rd 2008

One thing that's missing are the lulz that ensue when I burn myself and you get to hear me invent new swear words.

Adam, you talk too much. Good show though.

Adam on September 02nd 2008

This is true. I always talk too much, though. It's definitely nothing exclusive to this podcast. :P
