So, the pre-launch podcast just before Christmas and now our first actual podcast. While we had a few technical difficulties with Skype and the recording software this time as we started our recording – which Shel resolved without too much pain! – I think we’re both pretty happy with the end result from a content and presentation point of view.
But what actually counts is what you think, so do let us know.
