   Ok .. better than #1

   Mike stands were a *lot* better than hand holding them.

   Joe’s mic was not working .. but he didn’t talk a lot so many folks may not notice.

   Graphics were also a step up from #1, but the images could have been a bit bigger. Also the editing between “takes” could be tightened up a bit.

   No visible mouse … good.

   Keep up the good work.

   Ok guys..

   I think its good that you are doing some thing new. But Im sorry to say that I dont like it.

   Its to static and a bitt boring. Audio is good but the video part needs to shake things upp.

   I think that a hand held cam in the podcast studio would be better.

   Look at the stuff geek week did. that is the way i think you need to go. Ok GW is bit over produced but it good.

   Hope to se more then you just reading the news. For just the reading I can listen to the regular show

   Well .. I didn’t want to bring that up in my comment above .. after all it’s only the second show and things need to shake down and settle in.

   I too was wondering where is this going.? What did you have in mind?

   I certainly don’t want to discourage you, but I have to agree with Morn .. there is nothing (so far) in the video version that we can’t get (easier) in the regular podcast.

   Richard,
   You are absolutely right. There is nothing here that you can’t get better and in more quantity in the podcast or website. But, all those people on YouTube that have never heard of us… they don’t know that yet. The video is to gain listeners who could care less that we even exist. Tempt them with a little video and hopefully, they’ll want more and stop by. Is this really that bad of an idea?

   Have you guys checked out Revision3?

   Lots of video podcasts without the ‘news presentation’ look. Obviously they use a much bigger budget, but maybe something to get some ideas from?

   Tekzilla and Totally Rad Show are their top end thing, but Diggnation and Systm show a pair of guys with a desk or sofa can pull a good show off just fine with no budget – just interesting stuff with a fine delivery.

   Personally, I’ve been hoping you guys did a video thing for a long time, and am happy to see it.

   Maybe even just a ‘Stern’ style camera in the studio when you do the audio podcast. I’d imagine you’re far more comfortable there than at the ‘news desk’.

   You asked for feedback so I’m throwing in my 2c. I know this will end up great once you find your niche’.
