another great video~ I'm kind of missing the podcasts though. easier to load up an mp3 and listen on the go, haha maybe I live a stressfull life? probably not
Hey Jonas, you're 100% right. As a podcast 'consumer' I'm an avid fan of the audio and less so of the video & for exactly the same reason as you. It's hard to find the time to watch 15-25 mins of video, but ironically it seems easier to listen to 60+ mins of audio.
The thing is; it's harder doing the audio podcasts because we have to set up Skype and then arrange a time which is good for all participants - some of whom are calling in from different timezones. Not to mention the editing...again, it's been a big surprise that editing the videos is quicker than the audio.
The weird thing is that - with a couple of exceptions - most of the video podcasts have 'outsold' the audio podcasts in terms on downloads, so clearly most of the FW audience is happy with the video format. Which is another surprise to me.
How many surprises can one man take?
Anyway, it has recently occurred to me that we could do the audio podcasts in a magazine style (like the videos) rather than always having to have a panel discussion. That might help with some of the logistics. Stay tuned & thanks very much for the feedback.
