Hey Erin, great show! Nice mix of topics, and a cute Canadian accent too
Just a couple of minor points: the music was way louder than the speech so I had to adjust the volume, also there seemed to be a slight echo on your speech. Other than that, brilliant keep up the good work!
Re sarcasm: Strange that sarcasm is big in SM; ppl have always said is really hard to be sarcastic by text, as people might mis-understand. I guess with audio and video you get the tone of voice back: e.g. this brilliant video by Paperlilies on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPgkZfaA_K8

Hey Erin,
Great podcast. I listen to podcasts in the car with my husband. If this first episode is any indication, you’ll have lots of followers with every new show you do. Congratulations! I look forward to more.

Phil – Thank you so much for the feedback!! I’ll definitely work on that for the next episode. The slight echo could have to do with my new Blue condenser microphone but I’ll check the settings for the next episode.
Keldie – Thank you! We’re just waiting on iTunes to approve the podcast and it’ll be syndicated there so you can easily download them!

Great first episode and nice choice of music! I’ve been able to feature Mojave’s music on my podcast a couple of times, plus getting a chance to do an interview for my show; those two folks understand Social Media and music!

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Thank you Erin for this wonderful site…. this is what I’ve been waiting for…… looking forward for the next podcast. You are such a good inspiration. PS: by the way keep the background echo…it stands out and it sounds good. Keep up the good work. Diane – a geek in training.

I have a Blackberry Bold on Rogers and my Internet connection never failed. I heard about the outage after words. Great show, but too much reverb on you voice. You shouild cut the decay and the room size.
