Our first “real” podcast, this time around we got things a
lot closer to the way they both should and will be as we continue
forward. In this show Kurt and I debate the OASIS Open Document format,
Microsoft’s Open XML Format, and the significance all of this will have
both in the here and now as well as in the future. The entire debate
last about sixteen(16) minutes with another four(4) minutes of music
and fun for a total of twenty(20) minutes in combined length.

We still have some mic balancing to debug, but overall this time
around is 1000 times better than the last. This time around we got
Kurts mic pretty much spot on but mine needs a bit more tweaking (you
may want to turn the volume down a tiny bit lower than you normally
might listen to a podcast. It can be a bit harsh on the ears as I’m
noticing right now listening to the final MP3 output.) We’re getting
closer though, and this time is certainly better than last.

We actually recorded two hours of content last night which should
equate to about one hour and fifteen minutes of total content. We
covered five(5) total topics of which in listening to Micah’s
advice (and agreeing with his point that each segment needs to be
between 15 and 20 mins in total length) we plan to publish one at a
time as time allows to edit each segment. As mentioned above this
segment covers the OASIS Open Document and MS Open XML office document
formats.

Plenty of fun was had with this one. It can be enjoyed in mp3
and as soon as I have a chance to make the conversion, wma formats
(I’ll add the wma link to this post when its ready to go.) You can
point your podcatcher at the RSS 2.0
and, as soon as I have a chance to create it, Atom data feeds such that
you can automatically snag each podcast as it becomes available.

Any ideas for possible future topics?
